JUSTYN ROSS NEWS

Back to practice squad Ross reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact 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.

Elevated for Week 10 The Chiefs elevated Ross from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact 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 see any targets from Patrick Mahomes.

Lands back on practice squad Ross reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact 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.

Elevated for Monday night Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact 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.

Joins KC's practice squad Ross signed with Kansas City's practice squad Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

Impact 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.

Sent to waivers The Chiefs waived Ross on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

Impact Ross appeared in 10 regular-season games with Kansas City last season, in which he secured 6 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.

Questionable for Saturday Ross (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Ross could be trending in the right direction to suit up Saturday, as he began the Chiefs' week of practice with a DNP but followed that up with two consecutive limited sessions. If the 24-year-old is able to play in Kansas City's wild-card outing, he'd likely serve as a reserve option at wide receiver in addition to his usual special teams duties.
