Bengals get a strong positive sign from Ja’Marr Chase in latest practice ahead of game against Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session due to a concussion. Although he remains in the concussion protocol and needs a full practice before being officially cleared, his return marks a positive step toward potentially playing in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Several other Bengals players featured on Thursday's injury report, including wide receiver Tee Higgins, who did not practice, and safety Bryan Cook, who participated on a limited basis. Safety Jordan Battle was upgraded to full participation, while backup safety Kyle Dugger remained sidelined and is not expected to play against Miami.
