Overview
- The NFL confirmed Chase spit on Jalen Ramsey during Week 11 after reviewing multiple angles, then suspended him for one game on Nov. 17.
- Chase posted a public apology upon reinstatement, taking full responsibility and addressing fans, both teams and the NFL community without naming Ramsey.
- His appeal was denied by a jointly appointed officer, and Ramsey—ejected in-game for punching—was later fined $14,491.
- The suspension cost Chase his game check and bonuses, with reports placing his lost pay and fines at more than $500,000.
- Chase is cleared to play Thursday against the Ravens as Cincinnati sits 3-8, with Joe Burrow expected to return and Tee Higgins ruled out with a concussion.
