The 2017 first-round pick has appeared in one game for Philadelphia this season, catching one of his two targets for six yards across 11 offensive snaps. After being placed on the Eagles' practice-squad injured list, Ross will be forced to miss the team's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 12 against the Rams.

John Ross: Joins Philly's practice squad
Rotowire
The Eagles signed Ross to the practice squad Tuesday.
Ross spent time with Philadelphia during the preseason, so he already boasts some familiarity with the offensive scheme. With top wideouts A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) both injured entering Week 4, Ross could be a candidate for elevation for Sunday's road matchup against the Buccaneers.

John Ross: Released by Eagles
Rotowire
Ross was released by the Eagles on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ross was able to reel in four catches for 37 yards while also logging two kickoff returns for 68 yards during the preseason with Philadelphia. The wide receiver hasn't appeared in an NFL contest since 2021 with the Giants, and he'll now likely look for another opportunity elsewhere.

Eagles' John Ross: Concussion confirmed
Rotowire
Ross exited Thursday night's preseason game against the Patriots with a concussion and will not return, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ross caught one of his two targets for nine yards prior to getting injured. It's the veteran wideout's lone catch of the preseason to date, and now he'll have to pass through the league's protocol if he's going to be cleared in time for the preseason finale versus Green Bay on Aug. 24.

Eagles' John Ross: Seeing first-team work
Rotowire
Ross was spotted working with the Eagles' first-team offense Thursday, Brandon Lee Gowton of BGN Radio reports.
Parris Campbell worked as the Eagles' No. 3 wide receiver during the team's first day of camp, but it now appears that Ross will get a shot to compete for that spot as well. The 28-year-old wideout's most recent in-game action came back in 2021 with the Giants, when he recorded 11 receptions for 224 yards and one touchdown across 12 games (203 offensive snaps). Philadelphia has been in search of a third wide receiver for quite a long time, and it seems as if Ross could have the opportunity to take that role.

Eagles' John Ross: Signs with Eagles
Rotowire
Ross and the Eagles agreed on a one-year contract Thursday.
Ross announced in late November that he was attempting an NFL comeback after temporarily retiring in July and he participated in Philadelphia's rookie minicamp in April. The wide receiver was selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft after posting a blazing 4.22 second 40-yard dash time at the combine, but he has yet to really ever find his groove in the league. Ross last appeared in an NFL contest in 2021, securing 11 receptions for 224 yards and a touchdown over 10 games with the Giants and he'll likely operate primarily as a special-teams option if he cracks the Eagles' active roster in 2024.

John Ross: Attempting NFL comeback
Rotowire
Ross is set to participate in rookie minicamp with the Eagles on a tryout basis after announcing his retirement last year, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Ross announced his retirement at the start of training camp last year after initially signing a reserve/future contract with Kansas City. He was waived from the Chiefs' reserve/retired list in late November and became a free agent, and he now appears to be interested in reviving his NFL career. Ross' most recent action came in 2021 with the Giants, when he played in 10 games and recorded 11 receptions (on 20 targets) for 224 yards and a touchdown while adding one rush for 16 yards.

John Ross: Set to become free agent
Rotowire
The Chiefs waived Ross from their reserve/retired list Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Ross now wants to return to the NFL after temporarily retiring back in July. He hasn't suited up for a regular-season game since 2021, but his elite speed could get him a second look.

Chiefs' John Ross: Singed to reserve deal by KC
Rotowire
The Chiefs signed Ross to a reserve/future contract Monday, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.
Ross landed this deal with Kansas City shortly after coming in for a tryout with the team Monday, according to Field Yates of ESPN. The 2017 first-round pick did not appear in a game during the 2022 regular season, as he went unsigned for the duration of this campaign. While the Chiefs are set to play during the divisional round of the playoffs, this deal for Ross will not go into effect until the team's roster size increases beyond the 53-man limit this offseason. Ross last appeared in 10 games for the Giants in 2021, recording 11 receptions (on 20 targets) for 224 yards and a touchdown, and the speedster should compete for a role as a vertical threat heading into the 2023 campaign.

John Ross: Tries out for Cardinals
Rotowire
The Cardinals worked out Ross on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Ross missed the final four games in 2021 with a knee injury, but his Tuesday workout for Arizona suggests he's moved past the issue. With Marquise Brown set to miss an extended period of time with a foot injury, the Cardinals could look to sign Ross for added speed in addition to the newly acquired Robbie Anderson.

Giants' John Ross: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Ross (knee) has been ruled out Sunday against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Ross hasn't played since Week 14 and didn't practice in either of the Giants' first two practices of Week 18, so it's not a surprise to see him ruled out for the final week of the regular season. He'll end his 2021 campaign with 11 catches (20 targets) for 224 yards and one touchdown across 10 appearances.

Giants' John Ross: Absent for another practice
Rotowire
Ross (knee) wasn't on the field for Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Ross hasn't played since Week 14, and given that he hasn't participated in either of the Giants' first two practices of Week 18, he'll most likely remain sidelined for a fourth straight game Sunday against Washington. Kadarius Toney (shoulder) also appears unlikely to play after missing another practice Thursday, likely leaving Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton (shoulder), David Sills and Pharoh Cooper as the Giants' available options at receiver for the season finale.

Giants' John Ross: Estimated as non-participant
Rotowire
Ross (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Ross has missed the last three games due to a combination of a positive COVID-19 test result and a knee injury. He's still nursing the knee issue ahead of Week 18, and he'll likely need to practice in some form Thursday or Friday if he hopes to play Sunday against Washington.

Giants' John Ross: Won't play
Rotowire
Ross (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Chicago, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Darius Slayton is on the reserve/COVID-19 list while Kadarius Toney (shoulder) and Collin Johnson (hamstring) have been ruled out. That leaves the Giants with Kenny Golladay and practice-squad players as their wideout group for Week 17, with the former including Pharoh Cooper and David Sills. Given the lack of depth, Ross could get playing time if he makes it back for Week 18 against Washington.

Giants' John Ross: Listed as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Ross (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Ross was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he's still dealing with a knee injury while also working to regain conditioning. In order to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game in Chicago, he'll likely need to be a full participant in practice Thursday or Friday.

Giants' John Ross: Gets activated
Rotowire
Ross (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Ross will return to practice Wednesday and seems to have a good chance to suit up in Sunday's matchup against the Bears following a two-game absence. He secured just three of four targets for 35 yards while rushing once for 16 yards in his four appearances prior to testing positive for COVID-19, but he could see a slightly increased role over the final two games of the season after Sterling Shepard (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve last week.

Giants' John Ross: Returns to team facility
Rotowire
Giants head coach Joe Judge said Wednesday that Ross (illness) has been cleared to return to the team facility, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Ross has missed the Giants' last two games since he tested positive for COVID-19, but he appears to be trending toward a Week 17 return. The Giants will likely activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list this week in hopes that he'll be able to practice ahead of Sunday's game against Chicago.
