Ross reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster for a second straight game Sunday due to JuJu Smith-Schuster being sidelined with a hamstring injury. Ross played seven of the Chiefs' 68 offensive snaps Sunday but failed to haul in his lone target. If the Chiefs elevate Ross from the practice squad again, they'll subsequently have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play for the team again in 2024.

Justyn Ross: Lands back on practice squad
Rotowire
Ross reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) unable to play Monday night against Tampa Bay, Ross received an elevation to the active roster. The latter logged just seven offensive snaps in the contest and didn't get any targets. The elevation was Ross's first of the campaign, and his chance of being elevated again in Week 10 could depend upon whether Smith-Schuster is able to return to action.

Chiefs' Justyn Ross: Elevated for Monday night
Rotowire
Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The Clemson product's elevation Monday provides depth in Kansas City's wide-receiver room, with JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) in line to miss his second consecutive game in Week 9's matchup against Tampa Bay. Ross appeared in 10 regular-season games with the Chiefs in 2023, catching six of his 11 targets for 53 yards. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in Monday night's contest, likely seeing minimal offensive work.
Ross signed with Kansas City's practice squad Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Ross was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday but went unclaimed, giving Kansas City the opportunity to keep the wide receiver in the organization as a member of the practice squad. Kansas City has seven wide receivers on its 53-man roster, so it may take a couple of injuries for Ross to earn a chance at a promotion after he dressed for 10 regular-season games with Kansas City as a rookie in 2023.

Justyn Ross: Sent to waivers
Rotowire
The Chiefs waived Ross on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Ross appeared in 10 regular-season games with Kansas City last season, securing six of 11 targets for 53 yards, but he won't stick on the 53-man roster to begin the 2024 season. If the former Clemson standout goes unclaimed on waivers, though, he'll be a likely candidate to earn a spot on the Chiefs' practice squad.
Ross (hamstring) is active for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against Buffalo.
Ross was unable to play in the Chiefs' wild-card win over the Dolphins due to the injury, but he was able to log limited practices leading up to the divisional-round matchup with the Bills. The Clemson product will be one of the many options at receiver suiting up for Kansas City on Sunday.
Ross (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ross got in a round of limited practices this week, an upgrade after he went DNP-LP-LP last week before being ruled out versus Miami. Ross was hurt in the Week 18 finale against the Chargers. If active, he's unlikely to have much of an offensive role versus Buffalo.

Chiefs' Justyn Ross: Limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Ross (hamstring) was a limited participant at the Chiefs' practice Wednesday.
Ross suffered a hamstring injury in Week 18 and he was forced to miss the team's wild-card win over the Dolphins. He'll look to increase his workload throughout the week in order to be ready for Sunday's matchup with the Bills in the divisional round.
Ross (hamstring) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card game against Miami.
Ross hurt his hamstring in Week 18 against the Chargers and logged a DNP/LP/LP progression during practice this week. Despite the pair of limited sessions, he has been deemed unable to play in the opening round of the postseason. Ross isn't typically a major part of KC's passing game, but his absence may open up a few more offensive snaps for Mecole Hardman and/or Richie James.
