News

  • Clear of illness

    Ross (illness) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 2017 was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Browns with an illness, but he's back in action at practice Wednesday with no limitations. Ross hasn't had much of a role for the Bengals this season, and he reportedly talked to the team earlier in October about being traded.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Ross (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ross has been an afterthought in the Bengals offense thus far, with the 2017 first-rounder having logged just two catches on seven targets for 17 yards in three games played. The team's wide receiver corps is currently headed by A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins.

  • Deemed questionable with illness

    The Bengals list Ross as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns with an illness, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Ross previously sat out the Bengals' Week 5 loss to Baltimore with a non-COVID-19-related illness, so he could be dealing with a recurrence of the same ailment. Despite his designation, the wideout doesn't appear in danger of missing the Week 7 contest for health reasons, as coach Zac Taylor told Ben Baby of ESPN.com that he expects to full roster to be available Sunday minus cornerback William Jackson (concussion) and running back Joe Mixon (foot), who have already been ruled out. If Ross ends…read more

  • Wants out of Cincinnati

    Ross has talked to the Bengals about being traded, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 2017 first-round pick has yet to find his footing in Cincinnati, largely due to injuries, and he's now nearly halfway through his fourth pro season. Ross was active Sunday against the Colts, marking the first time he'd suited up since Week 2. Per Garafolo, Ross approached the team recently about a trade and wants a fresh start elsewhere. The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 3, which gives the Bengals two weeks to gauge the receiver's trade value.

  • Finally active again

    Ross is active for Sunday's conference tilt against the Colts, his first time enjoying that status since the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Ross has fallen out of favor with the Bengals' coaching staff, relegated to a healthy scratch on occasion this season. However, Auden Tate is inactive this week, opening a tiny window for Ross to make another impression.

  • Cleared of illness

    Ross (illness) doesn't appear on Wednesday's injury report, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ross missed the Bengals' Week 5 loss to the Ravens because of an illness, but after sitting out the preceding two games in coach's decisions, he likely would have been inactive even if he was fully healthy. Now that he's shaken the illness, the 2017 first-round pick should be available Sunday against the Colts, and the Bengals could need him to suit up with the health of fellow wideouts A.J. Green (hamstring) or Auden Tate (shoulder) in question for Week 6.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Ross (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 2017 first-rounder pick had been a healthy scratch of late, so his Week 5 absence won't have a great impact on the team's Week 5 passing attack. The Bengals' wide receiver corps is currently headed by A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins.

  • Doubtful for Week 5

    Ross is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Baltimore with an illness, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Ross has missed back-to-back practices due to the illness. The 2017 first-round pick had been a healthy scratch for two straight contests, so even if Ross manages to fully recover before Sunday's game, he may not suit up.

  • Takes a seat Week 3

    Ross (coach's decision) is inactive Week 3 at Philadelphia, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: This may seem surprising on the surface given the fantasy buzz that Ross has gained in the past, but after going without a catch in Week 2 and seeing his snap count cut in half, the writing was on the wall for a potential scratch. A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd will presumably continue to lead the position group for the Bengals, but the absence of Ross will allow Tee Higgins to draw the start.

  • No receptions in Week 2

    Ross didn't haul in either of his two targets in Thursday's 35-30 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Ross logged just 30 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 2, ranking fifth among Bengals wideouts and behind even Mike Thomas. Considering it took just one game for rookie Tee Higgins to secure a top-three role, Ross could be pushed out of the gameplans moving forward.

    Published: Tue, Sep 22 at 11:46am by Rotowire.com

  • Grabs just two passes Sunday

    Ross caught two of five targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Ross couldn't replicate last year's Week 1 magic, and this was his lowest yardage total in a single game since 2018. Rookie QB Joe Burrow spread the ball around Sunday, targeting five players five or more times, so it's encouraging that Ross is at least in the mix to begin the season. Ross will look to capitalize on those opportunities in Thursday's matchup against the Browns.

  • Avoids injury report

    Ross (arm) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Ross suffered an arm injury in training camp roughly two weeks ago, but he's managed to shed the issue in time to begin the regular season at full health. The 2017 first-round pick is listed wideout behind A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd on Cincinnati's first unofficial depth chart, per Ben Baby of ESPN.com. As such, Ross is seemingly in line to serve as Cincinnati's No. 3 receiver during Sunday's season opener against the Chargers, though Tee Higgins, Auden Tate and Alex Erickson all offer…read more

  • Listed as starting wideout

    The Bengals list Ross (arm) as their third wide receiver on the unofficial depth chart the team released Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though Ross has missed time in camp after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 injured list in August before picking up an arm injury just under two weeks ago, the Bengals still seemingly favor him for the No. 3 role over rookie second-round pick Tee Higgins and holdovers Auden Tate and Alex Erickson. The Bengals' other starting wideouts, A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd, along with running backs Joe MIxon and Giovani Bernard are still expected to draw the bulk of the targets from quarterback Joe…read more

  • Scrimmage absence precautionary

    Coach Zac Taylor said Ross (arm) was held out of Sunday's scrimmage as a precaution, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ross warmed up for Sunday's scrimmage and dressed as if he intended to play, but he was ultimately restricted to the sideline. It's reassuring that the speedster's absence wasn't an indication that he'd aggravated his arm injury. With just two weeks remaining until the season opener Sept. 13 versus the Chargers, the Bengals appear to be simply taking a cautious approach to Ross' health.

  • Not ready after all

    Ross (arm) is dressed for Sunday's scrimmage but will not participate, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: The fact that Ross dressed for Sunday's scrimmage and warmed up with the starters could indicate that he intended to play but is being held out as a cautionary measure. The speedy wideout has been limited in practice since suffering an arm injury earlier this week.

  • Not participating in scrimmage

    Updating an earlier report, Ross (arm) dressed for Sunday's scrimmage and warmed up but ultimately did not participate, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Ross had a wrap on his arm still while standing on the sidelines during the scrimmage. The Bengals are going to close media access to practice this upcoming week, so further updates on him might be vague.

  • Ready to play Sunday

    Ross (arm) is dressed for Sunday's scrimmage and appears ready to play, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ross was pointing in this direction with his work on the side earlier this week. This weekend is traditionally the "dress rehearsal" preseason game, i.e. the third preseason game, so this scrimmage carries a little extra weight for someone like Ross, who has something to prove to earn playing time.

  • Arm issue

    Ross is limited in practice with an arm issue suffered earlier in the week, but he's still getting work in on the side, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ross indicated he knows that this is a pivotal season for him and wants to work through injuries as best as possible. He and A.J. Green could both be free agents at the end of the season.

  • Activated from COVID list

    The Bengals activated Ross from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

    Analysis: Ross left the team to care for his young son and the child's mother, who both tested positive for COVID-19. The 24-year-old wide receiver has completed the necessary protocols to return to the team, however, and he'll start competing for a starting role. Compared to last year, there's added competition from rookie second-round pick Tee Higgins (hamstring) and veteran A.J. Green (hamstring), but both of those injuries could open the door for Ross to make an impact in his first practice back.

  • Goes on COVID list

    The Bengals placed Ross (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Ross left Cincinnati to care for his young son and the child's mother after the pair both tested positive for COVID-19. Ross' listing doesn't necessarily mean he's tested positive himself, but his mere presence with infected family members is enough to force the Bengals' hand. At the moment, he doesn't have a timeline for a return to the team.

  • Could land on COVID-19 list

    The Bengals are expected to place Ross on the team's reserve/COVID-19 list in the near future, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Wednesday that the wideout has left the team for the time being to help care for his young son and the child's mother, both of whom recently tested positive for COVID-19. There's no timetable for Ross's return to the Bengals' workouts.

  • No fifth-year option

    Ross will not have his fifth-year option picked up by the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Ross has played just 24 of 48 eligible games since being drafted No. 9 overall by the Bengals in the 2017 NFL Draft due to a number of injuries, so it doesn't come as much surprise to see Ross fail to receive the fifth-year option. The speedy wide receiver has been productive during the infrequent times he's been on the field, but with the addition of 2020 second-round pick Tee Higgins and the expected healthy return of A.J. Green (ankle), it might be a tall task for Ross to see enough…read more

  • Facing added competition

    Ross is facing added competition for targets now that the Bengals added Tee Higgins with the first pick of the second round (33 overall) of the NFL Draft on Friday, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.

    Analysis: Both Ross and A.J. Green are in contract years, plus the Bengals still have Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate as holdovers as well. Ross still could be a big part of the team's future, but he's not guaranteed to earn that chance now.

  • Quiet finish, brighter future?

    Ross had two catches for 42 yards in the Bengals' Week 17 win over the Browns. He finished the season with 28 catches for 506 yards and three touchdowns.

    Analysis: Ross could take the leap next season with the Bengals holding the No. 1 pick and presumably eyeing Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow as their new franchise signal-caller. The wideout finished the season with a 20-plus-yard catch in each of his last four games and averaged 18.1 yards per reception in 2019. Ross hasn't yet demonstrated an ability to stay on the field, but if he can clear that hurdle, a big reward awaits.

  • Most productive game since return

    Ross secured six of 13 targets for 84 yards in the Bengals' 38-35 overtime loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed twice for six yards.

    Analysis: Ross finished second on the team to Tyler Boyd in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, and although he couldn't find the end zone like his teammate, he did put together his best performance since returning from a stay on injured reserve due to a shoulder issue. Ross also logged his first two rush attempts of the campaign, and he'll look to build on Sunday's effort and head into the offseason with some momentum when the Bengals face the Browns in Week 17.

  • Snags two passes in loss

    Ross caught two of three targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 34-13 loss to New England.

    Analysis: Ross has now been held to two catches and under 30 yards in each of his first two games back after a shoulder injury. The junior speedster always offers hope of a big play, with a 19.0-yards-per-catch average this season, but he has just six targets in his two games back. Next up is a Miami defense that entered this week having surrendered 54 passes of at least 20 yards, 28th in the league, but it'd be a leap of faith to assume that Ross will get enough targets to make Miami pay.

  • Ready to go in Week 15

    Ross (foot) put in a full practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ross's health was in some question after the foot injury limited his participation in Wednesday's practice, but he cleared up any concern by taking every rep Thursday and Friday. After missing eight games with a sternoclavicular injury, Ross returned from injured reserve in the Week 14 loss to the Browns to play 51 percent of the offensive snaps. The third-year wideout may only see his role on offense expand in the Bengals' final three games with Auden Tate (knee) now on IR and A.J. Green…read more

  • Returns to full practice

    Ross (foot) practiced fully Thursday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ben Baby of ESPN.com previously noted that Ross's "foot injury is very minimal" and the wideout's full session Thursday places him on track to play Sunday against the Patriots. In his return to action from a sternoclavicular injury in Week 14, Ross logged 36 of a possible 73 snaps in the Bengals' loss to the Browns, en route to catching two of his three targets for 28 yards. His Week 15 matchup isn't great -- the Patriots are second in the league in passing yards per game allowed -- but Ross…read more

  • Listed as limited Wednesday

    Ross was limited at practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ross returned to action in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Browns after a long layoff due to a sternoclavicular injury, but it's a new issue that's troubling him in Week 15. His status will be revisited Thursday, at which point it'll be known if the foot injury is a minor concern or if he suffered an in-practice setback Wednesday.

  • Makes two catches in return

    Ross caught two of three targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Making his return from a long injury layoff, Ross was somewhat eased back into action. He looked explosive on a 24-yard gain but did little of note aside from that play. Ross was a big part of the offense in the early stages of the season and will look to increase his involvement next Sunday against the Patriots. Fellow receiver Auden Tate got injured Sunday, so his status for Week 15 could affect how much or little Ross gets used.

  • Ready to face Browns

    Ross (shoulder) will suit up against the Browns on Sunday, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Ross was officially activated off injured reserve Tuesday and appears fully recovered from the sternoclavicular injury he suffered Week 4. As evidence, the 2017 first-round pick wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. With A.J. Green (ankle) already ruled out for another contest, Ross' return to the lineup will provide a much-needed boost for Cincinnati's receiving corps.

  • Officially back from IR

    Ross (shoulder) was officially activated off injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Coach Zac Taylor said Monday he expects Ross to play against the Browns this week, and his activation is the first step toward that becoming a reality. The 25-year-old's participation at practice this week should be the final hurdle for his availability this weekend. Ross caught 16 of 32 targets for 328 yards and three touchdowns before going down with a sternoclavicular injury Week 4.

  • Likely returning Sunday

    Coach Zac Taylor said he believes Ross (shoulder) will be able to play Sunday at Cleveland, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ross has been in recovery mode since suffering a sternoclavicular injury Week 4 at Pittsburgh. After he was designation for return from IR in mid-November, it appears Ross will be elevated to the 53-man roster and be active in his first opportunity to do so. Before that can happen though, the Bengals must file an official transaction with the NFL. When he does suit up again, Ross will be on the receiving end of passes from Andy Dalton, who led the team to its first victory of the season this…read more

  • Designated to return from IR

    The Bengals revealed Wednesday that Ross (shoulder) will be one of their two players designated to return from injured reserve, though he won't be eligible to play until Dec. 8 in Cleveland, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ross can resume practicing as soon as he's healthy enough to do so, gearing up for a potential return to game action Week 14. He suffered a sternoclavicular injury during a Week 4 loss to Pittsburgh, landing on IR shortly thereafter. Ross had 270 yards and two touchdowns through the first two weeks of the season, but he caught just five of 12 targets for 58 yards over the next two games. He should have a key role in a struggling offense if/when he's ready to return, joining Tyler Boyd, and,…read more

  • Preparing for late-season return

    Ross (shoulder) was spotted working out on the side during the Bengals' practice session Monday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ross isn't eligible to return from injured reserve until Week 14, so he's not expected to resume taking part in team drills in the immediate future. That being said, the fact that Ross was on the field Monday in some fashion suggests he's progressing well from the sternoclavicular injury he sustained Sept. 30. Ross was handed a recovery timeline of around 6-to-8 weeks when he first sustained the injury, so there's a good chance he'll be ready to suit up in the Bengals' final four regular-season…read more
