JOHN ROSS NEWS

Scrimmage absence precautionary Coach Zac Taylor said Ross (arm) was held out of Sunday's scrimmage as a precaution, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ross warmed up for Sunday's scrimmage and dressed as if he intended to play, but he was ultimately restricted to the sideline. It's reassuring that the speedster's absence wasn't an indication that he'd aggravated his arm injury. With just two weeks remaining until the season opener Sept. 13 versus the Chargers, the Bengals appear to be simply taking a cautious approach to Ross' health.

Not ready after all Ross (arm) is dressed for Sunday's scrimmage but will not participate, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The fact that Ross dressed for Sunday's scrimmage and warmed up with the starters could indicate that he intended to play but is being held out as a cautionary measure. The speedy wideout has been limited in practice since suffering an arm injury earlier this week.

Not participating in scrimmage Updating an earlier report, Ross (arm) dressed for Sunday's scrimmage and warmed up but ultimately did not participate, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Ross had a wrap on his arm still while standing on the sidelines during the scrimmage. The Bengals are going to close media access to practice this upcoming week, so further updates on him might be vague.

Ready to play Sunday Ross (arm) is dressed for Sunday's scrimmage and appears ready to play, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Ross was pointing in this direction with his work on the side earlier this week. This weekend is traditionally the "dress rehearsal" preseason game, i.e. the third preseason game, so this scrimmage carries a little extra weight for someone like Ross, who has something to prove to earn playing time.

Arm issue Ross is limited in practice with an arm issue suffered earlier in the week, but is still getting work in on the side, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Ross indicated that he knows that this is a pivotal season for him and wants to work through injuries as best as possible. He and A.J. Green could both be free agents at the end of the season.

Activated from COVID list The Bengals activated Ross from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

Impact Ross left the team to care for his young son and child's mother, who both tested positive for COVID-19. The 24-year-old wide receiver has completed the necessary protocols to return to the team, however, and he'll start competing for a starting role. Compared to last year, there's added competition from rookie second-round pick Tee Higgins (hamstring) and veteran A.J. Green (hamstring), but both of those injuries could open the door for Ross to make an impact in his first practice back.

Signs rookie deal Burrow has agreed to terms with the Bengals a four-year contract worth $36.1 million, ESPN's Ben Baby reports.

Impact Per the report, even before he was officially under contract, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft spent the offseason prepping for the opportunity to serve as the team's Week 1 starting QB. An offseason minus on-field reps adds a degree of difficulty to Burrow's transition to the pro game, but the LSU product will at least have a solid collection of wideouts to throw to once training camp practices commence. The group is headed by A.J. Green, with Tyler Boyd, John Ross and rookie Tee Higgins also in the mix.
