00:00 News of Monday is Jamar chase and Jamar chase talked with the media on Monday.
00:04 He didn't speak after the game.
00:06 Normally he does.
00:07 And he was really, really sore today.
00:09 And I'm sure everyone that watched the game saw him deep pass from Joe burrow.
00:15 He's double teamed.
00:16 He goes up to make a catch lands really, really hard on his back was slow to get up and is
00:20 really, really sore.
00:21 I don't have video of it.
00:22 It didn't make it down to pay court today, but he talks in here are some of the quotes
00:26 and I'll just read them quickly for you.
00:28 He said, when asked how he was feeling, I'm alive.
00:31 That's the best thing right now.
00:32 I fell on my back as for right now.
00:34 That's all I know.
00:36 Pretty sore, just moving around.
00:38 He admitted that the injury got worse pain wise over the course of the game.
00:42 And he said, quote, got worse as the game went on.
00:45 Will he dial it back at practice?
00:47 He said, quote, I don't know yet.
00:48 We'll find out tomorrow.
00:51 And so there's certainly some concern from Jamar chase on this injury and what he's dealing
00:57 with.
00:58 At the same time, Zach Taylor was asked about it and he said he just left Jamar.
01:04 He was hanging out with Jamar, at least checking on him.
01:07 Now, Jamar was really sore, called him day to day, said he wasn't sure, didn't want to
01:11 commit to his status for Sunday against the Texans.
01:14 So we'll see there.
01:17 But one other thing Jamar said, he said, quote, all I can do is pray, be a good teammate and
01:22 be there for those guys and try to get healthy.
01:24 That's the only thing I can do right now.
01:25 Healthy is counting on me to be healthy.
01:28 And as far as playing through pain, someone's mentioned that he said, play through pain
01:31 every game, get hit every game back versus hip.
01:34 He said more spine, middle of everything, more cautious on it.
01:38 I'm good.
01:39 So we'll see.
01:41 I'm not sure exactly what this is going to mean, but Jamar chase could be limited in
01:46 practice early this week.
01:47 Maybe he misses a practice or two.
01:49 This coaching staff certainly isn't shy about giving their players rest when needed, especially
01:54 when nursing an injury.
01:56 So when it comes to Jamar chase, we don't have a ton of details.
02:01 Zach Taylor didn't sound panicked.
02:02 I think Jamar chase, it's fair to say he did sound concerned and that makes sense.
02:07 He's the one that's actually sore.
02:09 And I think he's really, really sore today.
02:10 I'm sure there are other Bengals players that are really sore today dealing with different
02:14 ailments and things.
02:15 So what you hope is that 23 year old body feels better tomorrow, feels even better on
02:20 Wednesday.
02:21 And then by Thursday, he's starting to move around and it loosens up and he feels better.
02:27 So we'll see.
02:28 Obviously, you're hoping that there's no serious injury when it comes to Jamar.
02:32 It didn't sound like it from Zach Taylor's perspective and what Zach said, but we don't
