Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (1) walks the field during warmups before the NFL Preseason Week 2 game between the Chicago Bears and the Cincinnati Bengals at Soldier Field in downtown Chicago on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase participated in team practice for the first time during training camp on Sunday.

Chase has been the subject of a hold-in as he vies for a new contract. The three-time Pro Bowl selection is entering the fourth season of a four-year, $30.8 million rookie contract.

His former LSU teammate, Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, reset the market in June with a four-year, $140 million contract ($35 million per season).

Chase, 24, caught 100 passes for 1,216 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games last season. He enters his fourth season with 268 receptions for 3,717 yards and 29 scores.

The Bengals open their season against the visiting New England Patriots on Sept. 8.
