Overview

  • Ross formally hit the waiver wire on July 16 with a no-recall designation after asking the Chiefs to grant his release last week.
  • He joined Kansas City as an undrafted free agent in 2022 following concerns over spinal fusion surgery and a college foot stress fracture.
  • Across 12 games in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Ross logged six catches for 53 yards without recording an NFL touchdown.
  • His tenure included a six-game suspension in December 2023 under the NFL’s personal conduct policy after a domestic battery charge.
  • His departure leaves depth behind Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy while opening a camp roster spot for competing receivers.
