The star receiver hyperextended his knee during a late-August practice, though the injury has been deemed minor. Also concerning: Joe Burrow said he had back tightness after Sunday's game and was spotted at practice this week with a brace on his right shoulder, throwing gingerly in a limited practice.

Chase's 2-12 Week 1 compounds concerns over his knee hyperextension and Burrow's shoulder.

Chase, the consensus No. 1 receiver in fantasy drafts, failed to launch in Week 1 with only two catches for 12 yards on four targets in the Bengals' 33-27 win over the Buccaneers. While volatile weekly variance at WR is expected, there are legitimate concerns: Chase hyperextended his knee during late-August practice (deemed minor), and Joe Burrow reported back tightness after Sunday's game and was spotted at practice with a brace on his right shoulder, throwing gingerly in limited practice.
