Justyn Ross: Everything you need to know

The Chiefs waived Ross on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Ross signed a reserve/future contract with the team back in February but will now head to waivers. The 2023 undrafted free agent had spent the entirety of his two-year career in Kansas City and hauled in six of his 12 targets for 53 yards across 12 regular-season games but will now look to catch on with another team.

Ross signed a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports reports. Ross was unable to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he stuck around on the practice squad. He did not record a catch in Week 9 and 10 when he was elevated to the active roster, and he was a healthy scratch for the AFC Championship Game against the Bills. Ross will be on the Chiefs' 90-man roster when the new league year begins March 12, which will give him an opportunity to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp in the hopes of earning a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

Ross reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster this past Saturday. He was ultimately a healthy scratch for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bills, though his elevation may have been so that he would receive a $77,000 game check rather than a $12,500 weekly pay out for being on the practice squad, per Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com. Ross could be elevated for Super Bowl LIX against the Eagles on Sunday, Feb. 9 if the Chiefs are in need of additional depth at wide receiver.
