Ja'Marr Chase Apologizes After One-Game Ban for Spitting on Jalen Ramsey

His statement follows a suspension upheld on appeal after league video review confirmed the incident.

Overview

  • He posted a lengthy Instagram message accepting responsibility and apologizing to the Bengals, the Steelers organization and fans, without naming Ramsey.
  • The NFL suspended him for unsportsmanlike conduct after reviewing video that showed the spit, and his appeal was denied.
  • He missed the Week 12 loss to the Patriots, forfeiting roughly his $448,333 weekly paycheck plus a reported $58,823 active-game bonus.
  • Ramsey was ejected for punching during the altercation and was later fined $14,491 by the league.
  • Chase was reinstated Monday and is available for Cincinnati’s Thanksgiving game at Baltimore as the 3-8 Bengals seek a rebound.
