Ja’Marr Chase’s $507,000 loss after suspension appeal
Cincinnati Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been suspended one game for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey. However, Chase disagreed with the sentence.
NFL decided to stand firmdismissing Chase’s appeal of the suspension. He will now miss the Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots and forfeit his $507,000 check via ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Originally, Ramsey was tagged and ejected for punching Chase. But after the game he claimed that Chase spat on him. The Bengals star has denied the allegations. however, a video of Chase spitting on Ramsey appearedwhich led to his suspension.
Even if the recipient decided to appeal, it is quite difficult to argue with video evidence. Now, Cincinnati’s season just got worse.
They dealt with injuries to quarterback Joe Burrow and key defenders such as Trey Hendrickson, Cam Taylor-Britt and Shemar Stewart. They lost a couple of games to incredible late comebacks. And now, they won’t have their best player at the position against a Patriots team on an eight-game winning streak.
Divisional games, especially in the AFC North, are always going to be tight. But now Chase has been hit where it hurts as the NFL sends a message. They don’t approve of Ramsey’s response, but they don’t want any player spitting on another.
The Bengals are hoping to turn things around as Barrow could be back soon from injury. However, Cincinnati is saddled with a disappointing 3-7 record. And now they’ll head into the Week 12 battle without Chase at their disposal.
