The Chiefs declined to comment, although ESPN reports that they are aware of the arrest.
Although he saw his first game action this season, Ross is in his second season with the Chiefs. Over seven games, he has three catches for 34 yards. In 17 snaps during the Chiefs’ Week 7 victory against the Chargers, he did not receive a single target.
He signed with the organization as an undrafted free agent out of Clemson and spent the whole 2022 season on injured reserve.
