Superstar wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase got into it with Bengals cornerback DJ Turner, ripping off Turner's helmet and tossing it away while jawing at the Bengals defense. He then squared up with cornerback Jalen Davis, who nearly swung a punch at Chase before holding back.
This type of intra-team preseason conflict is not uncommon for NFL teams as they prepare for their upcoming regular-season campaigns. Often times, it's viewed as positive competitive fire.
Here's video of the scuffle, as captured by Cincinnati news reporter Jaron May of WLWT:
Chase is entering his sixth NFL season as one of the best wide receivers in the league. Following his Triple Crown season in 2024, the five-time Pro Bowler reeled in 125 catches for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns through 16 games in 2025.
Turner is heading into his fourth NFL season since joining the Bengals as a second-round pick in 2023. Last year, he made a career-high 16 starts for Cincinnati.
Davis, the other cornerback involved in Wednesday's training camp scuffle, is entering his ninth NFL season and seventh as a reserve CB for the Bengals.
Cincinnati will open up its 2026 regular-season campaign with a Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 13.
