Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (5) and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (1) watch the score board as their team lose to the Detroit Lions 24-37 at Paycor Stadium on October 5, 2025.

Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers due to an illness, head coach Zac Taylor announced Friday.

Chase hopes to be in the lineup for the spiraling Bengals (2-3), who will turn to veteran quarterback Joe Flacco on Sunday.

Flacco, 40, and a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft were acquired by Cincinnati from the Cleveland Browns this week in exchange for a fifth-round selection in the same draft.

Chase, 25, leads the team in catches (32), targets (45), receiving yards (374) and receiving touchdowns (three) in five games this season.

A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Chase led the NFL in receptions (127), receiving yards (1,708) and touchdown grabs (17) as well as yards per game (100.5) in 17 games (16 starts) last season.

Chase has 427 catches for 5,799 yards and 49 TDs in 67 regular-season games (66 starts) since being drafted with the fifth overall pick in 2021.
