Will Ja’Marr Chase bets be refunded after injury during Bengals vs. Jaguars NFL Week 4?

Updated:

By: Zach Thompson

In the second quarter of Sunday’s matchup vs. the Jaguars, WR Ja’Marr Chase left the game for a concussion evaluation after a hard tackle. He had his facemask pulled backwards, and his head slammed to the turf drawing a penalty but having to leave the game.

Before departing with the injury, Chase had three catches for 26 yards on three targets. Since he will be unable to return, wide receivers Tee Higgins and Mitchell Tinsley could be very busy since Colbie Young (knee) is out and Andrei Iosivas (thumb) is on IR.


Will Ja’Marr Chase bets be refunded?

Thankfully for eligible Chase prop backers on DraftKings Sportsbook, because he left the game in the first half due to injury and will not return, DraftKings’ Early Exit Protected rules will apply to qualifying wagers.

Since he won’t be able to return, eligible single bets on Chase will be settled as void, with the original stake returned. For qualifying parlays and Same Game Parlays, the Chase selection will be voided and the odds of the wager will be recalculated using the remaining legs.

Bets or selections that were already determined before Chase’s injury may still be settled normally rather than receiving Early Exit protection.
