Ja'Marr Chase was one of the top five for the Cincinnati Bengals in this year's draft and his future with the franchise looks bright, especially due to his reunion with former LSU teammate Joe Burrow. But Chase's career could be affected in a big way as a result of an ugly incident.
Instagram model Amber Nicholl has accused Chase of domestic violence in a deleted Instagram Story, but was quick to screenshot her before her post went viral on the Internet.

Obviously, these are serious allegations. Chase hasn't addressed the post yet, but this isn't the first time Nicole has taken to Instagram to talk about the receiver. Nicole previously claimed that Chase told her to "take a Plan B" during her pregnancy.
Who is Amber Nicole?
Nicole is an Instagram model with over 12,000 followers who recently claimed to be pregnant with Chase's child. When she told the Bengals' receiver that she was pregnant, the two went back and forth on social media.
Nicole had already taken to Instagram to talk about how Chase slept with multiple women. It is inconclusive at this time whether the pair had a relationship before.
A month ago, Chase took to Twitter to denigrate Nicole's post.
these fake pages be killing me bruh 😂ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Will this affect the rookie season of Jammer Chase?
It is still unclear whether the NFL will investigate the issue as there were no formal allegations, only Instagram posts. But since this is a serious issue, it's likely we'll see an investigation in the next few days, as domestic violence is a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Ja'Marr Chase is expected to be a starter for the Cincinnati Bengals on September 12 in the first week of the season against the Minnesota Vikings. His position for the game is now up in the air.
