Eagles released WR John Ross.
The 28-year-old speed demon “un-retired” in May then suffered an August concussion for his troubles. Ross’ wheels could earn him one final look or two, but the 2017 first-rounder has 13 grabs since 2019.
Eagles WR John Ross suffered a concussion in Thursday’s preseason game against the Patriots.
Ross, who un-retired in May, has a lengthy injury history, but not to his head. This still dents what were already long-shot 53-man roster odds.
Eagles signed WR John Ross.
Ross announced his retirement last July while with the Chiefs but is now back for a second go at things with the Eagles. The former No. 9 overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft hasn’t played a regular-season snap since 2021 and has dealt with a myriad of injuries dating back to his days in college at Washington. Ross has a career receiving line of 62-957-11 but has totaled just 13 receptions for 241 yards and one touchdown over his last two seasons. He’ll have a chance to make the Eagles as added depth on a roster that’s short on receiver talent behind A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith, but is well off the fantasy radar even if he makes the roster.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports WR John Ross will participate in Eagles rookie camp this week “on a tryout basis.”
Ross retired last season but is now reportedly looking at a comeback. An injury-riddle career limited him to just 37 games over five seasons, and Ross hasn’t taken a regular-season snap since 2021, when he went for 11-224-1 with the Giants. At 28 years old, durability is more of a concern for Ross than age. While it’s possible he does enough to earn an invitation to camp, it’s hard to imagine him making much of an impact even if he does latch on to a roster — in Philly or elsewhere.
