Ross had resided with the Patriots' practice squad since Oct. 15. The undrafted free agent out of Colorado has never appeared in an NFL game, and has spent time with both the Titans' and Eagles' practice squads in his career.

The Eagles let Ross go this past summer with a non-football injury designation, but the 24-year-old wideout has shaken the injury. Ross will learn the Patriots' system and wait in the wings in case of injuries to their top receivers.

Ross was signed by Philadelphia on May 28, but will hit waivers as training camp looms. It's unclear what sort of injury he's dealing with, but he will be free to sign with a new team.

Ross was most recently waived two weeks ago by the Titans after signing a reserve/future contract with the team back in December. He'll now be competing for a depth role in the Eagles receiving corps.
