Chase, WR Tyler Boyd (foot/ankle), and CB DJ Turner II (ankle) were each limited Wednesday afternoon while CB Chidobe Awuzie (shoulder), QB Jake Browning (right forearm), and TE Mitchell Wilcox (knee) were full participants.

After practice, Chase confirmed to reporters that he will play Saturday.

Boyd and Turner have been limited for the past week with their respective injuries, so unless something changes Thursday, all three of Chase, Boyd, and Turner are on track to suit up for Saturday. The same goes for Awuzie, Browning, and Wilcox.

Should Bachie be unable to play, fellow LB Devin Harper is likely to take his snaps on special teams. Harper is usually a healthy scratch on game days.
