Ja’Marr Chase is adding another lane to his brand, and this time it comes with cargo pants, hoodies and a Cincinnati twist.
The Bengals wide receiver has teamed up with Fabletics for a new clothing drop, the third release in his partnership with the activewear company. Fabletics unveiled the latest Ja’Marr Chase collection this week, a 25-style lineup that runs from performance gear to casual pieces and accessories. Prices range from $14.95 to $159.95.
Chase said the project is built around what he actually wants to wear, both in the gym and away from football.
“What I wear matters to me - whether I’m training or doing my thing off the field,” Chase wrote to USA TODAY Sports in conjunction with his Fabletics release. “With Fabletics, I’m a part of the process and have a real say in what we’re creating. It needs to feel good, move right, and look good all at the same time.”
He also said this release gives fans a broader mix than the previous drops.
“With this newest drop, you’re seeing a different mix of styles - performance options that can keep up with me in the gym, and clean and casual looks for every day,” Chase wrote. “They are pieces that perform when they need to while still having that style and edge.”
The collection includes cargo pants, oversized tees, joggers, shorts and hoodies, plus orange-themed items designed with Cincinnati fans in mind. Fabletics said select custom graphic tees will be sold only at its Kenwood, Ohio, retail store.
The full collection is available online and at Fabletics stores nationwide.

Bengals Suddenly Have A Week 1 Concern Fans Didn't Want
The Bengals opened the week with a little more caution than they likely wanted, as Tee Higgins was held out of Wednesday practice with a heel contusion. Cincinnati still expects Higgins to be ready for the season opener, but any time a key receiver is sidelined this close to Week 1, it gets the attention of a fan base that has watched this offense lean heavily on its top pass-catchers.
JaMarr Chase was also absent from practice because of a hyperextended knee, though he is still anticipated to suit up for the opener. Both injuries came during preseason activities, which only adds to the uneasy feel around a group the Bengals need at full strength if they want to start fast. For now, the team is treating both situations as short-term concerns, but the early-week report is still enough to make the opener feel a little less settled than expected. [Read more 🡒]
Bengals May Have Found A Real Swing Tackle Option Already
The Bengals rounded out their 16-man practice squad by adding offensive tackle Blake Freeland, cornerback Trikweze Bridges and defensive end Garmon Randolph, a group that gives Cincinnati a little more depth as the season gets underway. Freeland is the name that stands out most for a team still sorting through its tackle options, especially after the former BYU standout and 2023 fourth-round pick by the Colts brought some real NFL experience with him to Cincinnati.
Freeland already has a rsum that makes him more than just a camp body, having played in 16 games with nine starts as a rookie and then logging 153 preseason snaps this summer. For the Bengals, that kind of background can matter at a spot where versatility is valuable, and Freeland looks like the sort of player who could stick if he proves he can handle both sides of the line when called upon.

Bengals May Be Repeating A Risky Contract Mistake Again
The Bengals have been here before, weighing the cost of paying a core player now against the temptation to push the decision down the road. An NFL insider raised concern that Cincinnati could be repeating a familiar contract pattern, with salary-cap pressure possibly factoring into the timing of an extension and leaving the situation in a holding pattern longer than ideal.
For a team trying to keep its roster competitive and stable, that kind of delay carries obvious stakes. The latest buzz around the Bengals also comes against a backdrop of injury updates and some optimistic chatter from within the locker room about where the season can go, but the contract question is the one that lingers, especially if Cincinnati keeps flirting with the kind of mistake that has bitten plenty of contenders before.
