Ross recorded four receptions on six targets for 32 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's preseason loss to the Bears.
Facing 3rd-and-8 on the Cardinals' third possession, Ross hauled in a 16-yard strike from Carson Palmer to set up the offense at the Bears' four-yard line. Once Drew Stanton and Blaine Gabbert took over under center, Ross was merely a check-down option, with no catch going for more than eight yards. Ross capped the game with a three-yard touchdown connection from Gabbert with seconds remaining to bring the Cards to within 24-23, only to see the two-point conversion pass fall to the turf. On a quest to land a spot on the 53-man roster, Ross has gobbled up eight of 11 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown, while calling for fair catches on three of four punt returns. In a receiving corps striving for consistency, the five-year veteran has a decent chance to jump ahead of a player like Brittan Golden (groin) on the depth chart.
