Ross reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster for a second straight game due to JuJu Smith-Schuster being sidelined with a hamstring injury. Ross played seven of the Chiefs' 68 offensive snaps Sunday but failed to haul in his lone target. If the Chiefs elevate Ross from the practice squad again, they would have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play for the remainder of the 2024 regular season.

Ross reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster for a second straight game due to JuJu Smith-Schuster being sidelined with a hamstring injury. Ross played seven of the Chiefs' 68 offensive snaps Sunday but failed to haul in his lone target. If the Chiefs elevate Ross from the practice squad again, they would have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play for the remainder of the 2024 regular season.
The Chiefs elevated Ross from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Ross will be elevated for a second straight game due to JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) being ruled out. Ross played seven snaps on offense during the Chiefs' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers but did not see any targets from Patrick Mahomes.
Ross reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log. With fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) unable to play Monday night against Tampa Bay, Ross received an elevation to the active roster. The latter logged just seven offensive snaps in the contest and didn't get any targets. The elevation was Ross's first of the campaign, and his chance of being elevated again in Week 10 could depend upon whether Smith-Schuster is able to return to action.
Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The Clemson product's elevation Monday provides depth in Kansas City's wide receiver room, with JuJu Smith-Schuster in line to miss his second consecutive game in Week 9's matchup against Tampa Bay. Ross appeared in 10 regular-season games with the Chiefs in 2023, catching six of his 11 targets for 53 yards. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in Monday night's contest, likely seeing minimal offensive work.
Ross signed with Kansas City's practice squad Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Ross was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday but went unclaimed, giving Kansas City the opportunity to keep the wide receiver in the organization as a member of the practice squad. Kansas City has seven wide receivers on its 53-man roster, so it may take a couple of injuries for Ross to earn a chance at a promotion after he dressed for 10 regular-season games with Kansas City as a rookie in 2023.
The Chiefs waived Ross on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Ross appeared in 10 regular-season games with Kansas City last season, securing six of 11 targets for 53 yards, but he won't stick on the 53-man roster to begin the 2024 season. If the former Clemson standout goes unclaimed on waivers, though, he'll be a likely candidate to earn a spot on the Chiefs' practice squad.
Ross's placement on the list comes after the wideout was arrested Monday for misdemeanor domestic battery and misdemeanor property damage. For as long as Ross remains on the list, he's not permitted to practice or play, according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. He won't be available for Sunday's game in Denver, and his absence from the team could continue for as long his legal situation remains unresolved.
