Adam Schefter BREAKING: Ja'Marr Chase won't play against Pats as team adds illness to injury list

want to beat Justin I'm going to beat out of Justin not by a penny brother so it's just you know what's right do you think that you're the best wide receiver in the I know for a fact I am is he going to get his money we'll find out is he going to play today let's find out Chey what do we know well he has the money he wants in the deal the question is the structure of the deal and as of last night greeny the two sides were unlikely to get a deal done in time for today's game now you throw in the fact that he's got an illness as well and he is questionable I'm told it'll be up to Jamar Chase to decide whether or not he feels like he can play today and he is legitimately questionable for today's game against the Patriots in a game in which T Higgins the other wide receiver is not expected to play due to a hamstring this Chase situation has gone on all summer long he has yet to take a full practice with the team in 11 on 11 football work we'll see if he can get out there today that's going to be up to him but that contract as of last night looked like it wasn't going to happen all right whether he gets the money or not Randy you were saying last night there's there's football shape and then there's wide receiver shape so he's not going to be in it what can he do today even if he does suit it up and play I just think that of course he's going to be on the pitch count but just having his presence out there for his quarterback and let me say this man Jamar Chase hasn't earned his contract you talking about Jamar Chase talking about he wants more money than Justin Jeffers let me take it stay with me for a minute greeny what did he do in college the man was the Belinda cter then he took a whole year off from football then he comes back in and picks up pick up right where he left off with his college quarterback and Joe burrow hey they the timing is the thing though with two years left on the deal I think that's the whole thing I mean this is the Cincinnati Bengals tier I mean I'd be shocked if this is done with in terms of Mike Brown saying two years left on a deal okay let's make this guy the highest paid receiver in the NFL when I mean it's almost I mean well if if he has two years left on his deal you telling they're going to make him to paid wide receiver next year is that what they're going to do if they're going to make him the highest paid wide receiver this man's not coming today Joe matter of fact who is Joe bar throwing to today he needs to be out in the football field for this franchise and his quarterback I don't care what the future holds for them Jamar Chase if there's no Jamar Chase there's no Joe B a simar situation happened with the Jets I had the best corner in football and derell Rivas had two years left on the deal and even though the owner and I thought we had a 10-year deal with them but that thing got messed up but anyway uh long story boring we end up going going out like came you know last probably like two maybe 5 days before the uh uh the opening game and it's like man it looks like it's not going to get done and I was so fed up with it to the point where I'm like dude you got two years left you know honor it and all that I know you've outplayed your contract but you did sign it so either way revas they we get a little Band-Aid done well what happens in the game we come back of course I play them I'm no dummy right I play him oh yeah and he pops a hamstring some chasing that guy some guy scores a touchdown a oneand catch this is a little different listen this guy's been underpaid for since he stepped foot on LS campus and he didn't get to negotiate his rookie contract this was slotted they told him where he go where he had to go and what he could play for he has absolutely outplayed this he is one of the best football players in the NFL pay this guy what are we doing get him on F outside the box to do it with two years left i i i age outside the man deserves to get paid is he one of the best yes I mean I agree I don't know if he's the best but he's one of the best and for the Cincinnati Bengals to go outside the box two year two years ear early in terms of the cont they made an exception for Joe burrow he's a quarterback and I understand you treat quarterbacks different qubs are different the contract is going to be bigger a year from now Teddy at the end of the day these contracts don't get cheaper if you sign him now you're signing him for less than you are next year this ass fat showe yesterday's price is not today's price they should sign Jamar Chase because it makes sense for him and it makes sense for them but the reality is I think we all expect they will not do it so does that mean that they fall off today could they even find themselves losing a game to New England with a game against Kansas City coming up next week man Gerard first rookie head coach Gerard Mayo going against the Cincinnati bingo where they do not have their man hey don't don't forget they just lost Joe Mixon to last year so I don't know where the production on the offensive side is going to come from but you got a thirsty rookie head coach coming in we know what the defense for the New England Patriots hey man watch out for upset all right we so we got that game on the the most important thing we're going to do one morning long for you here is follow the situation in Atlanta Dan Graziano was down there and I believe we have pictures of Russell Wilson as he's on the field Alex in particular I want your sense of what we're going to be looking for as Russell Wilson tries to warm up today with a calf yeah the big thing here is he's going to be I mean he'll be out there on the field testing this but these drills greeny are coreographed right like these things he's done in practice and out here today he's going to move around and I know he's not Justin Fields but let's not forget his legs are a big part of his game I mean this guy's made a career on extending plays outside the pocket and being creative there's just nothing like you know again Your Right Guard whiffs and the D tackle is bearing down on you and you have to go escape and I get you I guess what like in that urgency if your calf grabs your calf grabs like you're not you're not pushing through that you know so again I I'm really interested to see what takes place here on on pregame and him testing this again if the doctors give him the go-ahead I know they're going to be involved but there's just nothing like real game scenarios Dan Graziano is covering the game for us he's live in Atlanta Dan set the scene what are you seeing what are you hearing so he came out Russell Wilson came out here about six seven minutes ago to warm up he's over there throwing look to Alex's point he has been basically throwing flat footed about a minute or so ago it seemed like he took some dropbacks tried to move around a little bit tried to move his feet a little bit didn't do a ton uh of that and now you can see him here it doesn't look like he's do I mean I'm not a you know a a doctor or an orthopedist or a calf muscle Specialist or anything but he doesn't seem to be moving too much uh I would think they want to move more than uh than we've seen so far if they're going to clear him look Russell Wilson wants to play he's trying to convince them he can play but this is a recurrence of an injury that knocked him out for a couple weeks of Camp you got to think they're going to be safe um and go with Justin Fields but we will obviously keep you posted as we continue to learn more that's just not football right there like that's not NFL football you can drop back three steps and throw some routes but the reality is in the NFL a vast majority of your plays you got to move off the dot Randy you want to see him move laterally right you keep you're we're seeing him moving straight back but he needs to be able to move laterally well it seems like he's still putting a little bit of he's a little timid on that right side and I just said when he walked out there he has something on that calf so like Al to Alex's point I need to see a little bit more to make me believe that Russell Wilson's going to play today like I said if it's not it's up to the Young Buck Justin Fields week one is no week to be playing hero here okay especially if you're Russell Wilson Mike T knows this also sit him go ahead and go through your pregame warmup I mean give him another week I mean Justin fields and you you you've had a lot of time with him this preseason and your defense the team speed on defense has improved drastically try to take that formula into it free agent year you a linebacker free agent year are you sitting out week one it's we I would it's still week one it's week one there's 16 more left to go in terms of games you have time he a free agent so is Justin Fields coming up after the season Adam shefer what can you add well green I'm told that the Steelers plan to make a decision prior to the pregame warm-up here and obviously Russell Wilson is importantly the defense losing four key players including the two starting safeties and the All Pro linebacker Matt Milano's out until at least December with a torn bicep so it's a time of some significant change in Buffalo the bills are a 7 point favorite at home against Arizona today Rex are you worried about Buffalo absolutely absolutely look Sean MC der is a great coach defensive coach they've always played great on defense right now this is a bad matchup and look the Arizona Cardinals I know it's seven the line seven this is a live dog an absolute live dog Kyler Murray is going to carve them up in my opinion Trey McBride is a horrible matchup for the entire NFL let alone this saf you know this group with two backup safeties or new safeties if you will I I have a a real issue here I think the the uh the Murray McBride matchup you're going to watch it all day man last year at the end of end of the season this guy was just lighting the entire league up and I expect the same and you have Marvin Harrison Jr now on the outside I mean Kyler Murray this we the last time they played what happened BR you and I were talking about hail Murray yeah goes off yes I mean it's K Kyler Murray in September okay he is 100% he is ready to go he is healthy explosive quick he can be a headache but in terms of you being worried about Buffalo I mean how are your concerns on Josh Allen because eventually these great quarterbacks I'm talking great ones which I feel Josh Allen is you're going to have a revolving do receiver you're going to have guys coming in and coming out and now I think this is Josh Josh's perfect opportunity to show that I am great I mean me and me and khil Shakir are going to have a great relationship Curtis Samuel is new the tight end concade all of this I I still expect Kean sure you know you speaking you speaking about his his Playmakers there's one thing that that really stood out to me this this uh this summer was being able to watch a young rookie receiver like Keon K away from the football field so all this talk about Buffalo and their concerns I think for me the concerns will be on the defensive side but right here this young man right here all you heard was the praise coming out of the mini camps the training camp what I'm looking for today is to see how they will utilize a guy like Curtis Samuels A guy like Keon colan will play on the outside rex or will they moov him in a slot because the man can run he's not that fast he's more Elusive and quick so his separation will be a must watch today but I'm also giving some props and shots out to Demar Hamlin the safety for the Buffalo Bills getting his first start today so I'm actually excit very cool very cool Rex I totally agree with you I think the Cardinals are going to be better especially on offense however this this idea that the bills still aren't the bills I think's ridiculous I know they've had a ton of turnover all those names though that we put up on defense guess what they haven't really played in the last couple years they've been so injured on that side of the ball and guess who they still have they still have Josh Allen I mean this guy's had 40 plus touchdowns the last four years he's the only man in NFL history to do that he's still there and in a lot of ways I think the the low expectations and less noise listen we're not going to be up here every single week talking about how many catches Stefon Diggs had and is he upset I think that's going to free Josh up I think I think this might be the best Josh we see I think that occupied a lot of Buffalo also not only receivers but Josh is is how's Stefan doing is Stefan is Stefan eating do we we do we get him enough targets I mean what's his mentality sometimes that can be a distraction draining Josh said this week it's draining quarter Josh said this week that the mantr is Everybody Eats don't y'all get it don't I guess I guess that means he's going to spread it around don't get it messed up here Stefon Diggs was some drama in Buffalo but he will be highly missed all seon Buffalo there another there's another guy on the offensive side I got a highlight James Cook is giv him a third down back somebody to rely on so watch the reality is from the time they made the coordinator change last year to Joe Brady they became a run heavy offense anyway this could be a totally different looking offense from what we've been accustomed to seeing with Josh Allen the last few years Stefan Diggs and whomever they're all arriving today it's the Cardinals and the bills Rex thinks the cards are a live dog who we got showing up this morning oh Stefon Diggs is in Houston now Cardinals and bills Le pants ready to go and Stefan digs they up here talking about you ready go Adam shefer what's coming up all right greeny the Packers quarterback Jordan love avoided a major knee injury during Friday night's loss to the Eagles we'll tell you how long he might miss and the number one over5 million a year and this is what Chase said doing what he can to play but they'd like to make this decision
