The Kansas City Chiefs decided to elevate fan-favorite wide receiver Justyn Ross for their Week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Monday Night Football.”
Ross, who has developed a cult following with the Chiefs since signing with Kansas City after the 2022 NFL draft, is set to get his first chance to make an impact for the defending Super Bowl champions this season.
A former Clemson Tiger, Ross was a highly coveted prospect as a collegian, but injuries caused him to fall off many teams’ draft boards.
He saw action with the Chiefs in 10 games last season, hauling in six passes for 53 yards.
Though head coach Andy Reid is unlikely to make Ross a featured part of Kansas City’s offensive game plan for the Buccaneers, fans should expect the third-year receiver to be eager to make an impact if his number is called.
Stay tuned to see if Ross sees the field when the Chiefs face Tampa Bay on “Monday Night Football.”
