Ross inactive again

Due to injury he missed 90% or more of the off season and preseason activity.  He was unavailable for most of the entire first half of the season.  Why should he then be given an active roster spot over the guys who have been a part of all of it?

Either Malone or Core would get sat in favor of Ross.  Both of those guys have been through the offensive installations the entire season.  They've been in the special teams installations all season.  They've been getting reps in the plays and working on chemistry with the offense and special teams all season.  When the margin of difference in players is incredibly minute in the NFL, why in the hell should one of those guys take a seat and force changes to special teams just because one measureable is .25 seconds faster than the other two?  Because of his lack of activity and gelling with the offense, the season being on the line in Monday Night Football against our rivals is exactly why he SHOULDN'T be active.

My rant is done, carry on!
 

This is what, like week 13 now. The lack of preseason and whatnot was fine early on. By now though he should be out there if he actually is talented as a top 10 receiver, even if in the 4 or 5 spot. Also not to mention Steelers can be prone to the deep ball, especially with Mitchell out tonight. 

Hopefully he is as talented as a top 10 receiver should be tho, someday.
