Ja'Marr Chase Says 'Hell No' He Doesn't Want Burrow on Bengals Sideline Amid Injury

Cincinnati Bengals star receiver Ja'Marr Chase isn't in a rush to have Joe Burrow back on the sidelines as the quarterbacks continues his recovery from toe surgery.

When asked about Burrow being back on the sidelines for Bengals games, Chase said he should stay away and remain focused on his recovery.

"Hell no," Chase said around the 3:40 mark. "Don't come out there. They don't need to see you. They don't need to see Joe's face. Just get healthy. Come back later."

"The more time he's sitting there watching us, the more time he's not working," Chase added.

The Bengals are coming off their second straight loss, falling 28-3 to the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football in Week 4. Chase produced just five catches for 23 yards, his third time this year falling short of 100 yards.

While Chase would certainly benefit from having Burrow back under center, the 28-year-old signal-caller is facing a long road to recovery. He was expected to miss at least three months, sidelining him for virtually the entire regular season.

Chase will have to continue getting used to life without Burrow as the Bengals return to action against the Detroit Lions in Week 5.
