Emphasizing all the injuries besides the torn labrum is somewhat exaggerating.
That is because they happened before his 2016 and he was electric in 2016. He's clearly not hindered from those pre-2016 surgeries.

I'm not too worried about his torn labrum either. It wasn't hindering him to the extent he had to get the surgery immediately. He was going to do nearly all drills at the combine prior to his hamstring tightness after running the 40. He then went out a week later and held his pro day, showing nice explosion, cuts, and hands catching the ball.

Now he's about to get the surgery on his torn labrum and should be fine by TC.

I still hope to see him in stripes, although I think it's less likely now with LaFell signed. But knowing the Bengals like BPA in first round (sometimes regardless of starters), I don't think Ross is off the table.
