Standout Rummel receiver Ja'Marr Chase suffered a knee injury in the Rummel Raiders shellacking of Byrd High School Friday night, and there is cautious optimism that the damage may not be severe as many thought after witnessing the hyper-extension of his knee.

Initial concerns were that Chase may have suffered damage to his ACL or worse, but preliminary stability test have doctors optimistic about his prognosis. Chase had immediate swelling in his knee, which is often a sign of structural damage, but the swelling has subsided a bit in the 36 hours that followed, according to his father Jimmy Chase. Due to the hyper-extension, there is a belief that the injury may be to his PCL (posterior cruciate ligament), which connects the tibia and fibula bones.

Chase is scheduled to have an MRI on his knee Monday, which will reveal the extent of his injury.

Chase is currently an uncommitted prospect, following a decommitment from Florida last week. He has yet to release a top list of schools he intends to focus on down the stretch, but it is believed that LSU, TCU and Georgia are the three programs that have piqued his interest in recent weeks. Chase is one of the nation's top rated wide receiver prospects in the 2018 class.
