Cincinnati Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase finally suited up and participated in a full practice for the first time this training camp. 

Chase, who had been holding out in the preseason due to a contract dispute with the Bengals, was spotted at practice with the rest of his teammates. 

There’s been no word on whether a long-term extension Chase has been seeking has been sorted out with the front office.

Chase is entering his fourth NFL season, and like many star receivers this offseason, he’s looking to cash in after putting up solid numbers on his rookie deal, which was worth $30.8 million over four years.

The Detroit Lions paid Amon-Ra St. Brown (four years, $120 million), and the Philadelphia Eagles extended A.J. Brown again (three years, $96 million) to keep him
