Count Ja'Marr Chase in for Sunday, Ben Baby of ESPN reports.
The Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver is active for the season opener against the New England Patriots. He was listed as questionable following a contract hold-in during training camp and an illness that he suffered on Saturday morning.
Chase had previously stated that the decision to play would be up to him and be made at some point before kickoff. He also stated he'd be willing to play without a contract extension.
And a new deal does not appear to be coming. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Chase and the Bengals failed to agree on new terms for the three-time Pro Bowler. He still has two years remaining on his rookie deal.
Chase participated in Sunday's warmups with the team. He spent the bulk of the morning beside assistant Troy Walters as he got ready. Chase was also the first receiver to catch passes from quarterback Joe Burrow during warm-ups.
