Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase will miss his team’s Week 12 game against the New England Patriots after his one-game suspension was upheld, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Chase was suspended one game for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey. Chase subsequently appealed the suspension, but his appeal was denied, according to the report.
This is the first suspension of Chase’s NFL career and he’ll lose a total of $507,156, which is his weekly paycheck and active bonus combined.
Chase’s appeal was reportedly heard by former Green Bay Packers and Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson.
The Bengals (3-7) host the Patriots (9-2) at Paycor Stadium on Nov. 23. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on CBS/Local 12 (WKRC-TV.
