John Ross (knee) & Derron Smith (ankle) continued to work this week on a limited basis. As we said, Jones (back) was out. #Bengals

Might as well just shut Ross down for the year

After five games?  That's nutty.

When Ross as drafted there were rumblings that he might miss most of camp. I don't know why everyone is so surprised that he's barely played so far. THAT was basically known.

Also, with the way WR's not named AJ Green have played, that makes drafting a WR in Ross atleast theoretically look better.

When he does come back, I sincerely hope he's doing more than running end arounds and jet sweeps.  Maybe send him deep once or twice.  Like KC did with Hill last night.  Or some kind of patterns anyway.

Lazor hasn't even had Ross in his lineup at all, has he?

Nope. Yeah Tyreke Hill is the perfect guy to copy for Ross.

I just fear that his issue isn't an injury and is something else. I still think that's possible. Maybe playbook? Maybe he's getting down on himself? I don't know.

Well, when they talk to him, he sounds upbeat and ready to go.   If it's not health, it's a real head scratcher.  Truth be told, holding him out of the Steelers game is probably not the worst thing in the world, even as much as we need him.
