What is everyone's source for the claim that Ross was ready to play but Marvin just doid not play himfor some personal reason?

And, please, don't make the claim that marvin doesn't play rookies.  He has started lots of rookies.

Because it's been reported numerous times that John Ross has been a "healthy scratch". And yes, I know Ross was put on IR because of an injury, but Ross was put as a healthy scratch for numerous weeks BEFORE Ross even brought up the injury. He tried to play through it. It took until December for him to be put on IR.

He continuously threw John Ross under the bus immediately after games

When Marvin Lewis sat Ross for the rest of the Texans game after a perfect hit on the football.

Or when he chewed him out about a route against Titans where Ross quit running because he didn't think the ball was coming to him, saying he let the team down.
But didn't seem to say anything about the defense letting them down in the final minutes of the game.

Have you EVER heard Marvin say that about any other player? Never heard him say it about a player during a critical play. Never heard him say it about Hill, Pacman, or Burfict let the team down.

Oh, and there's been multiple sources saying that Tobin and Mike Brown wanted Ross, and Marvin Lewis wanted Reuben Foster.

And yes, Foster is a very good talent. And we have a need at LB. But we also obviously had a need at WR.
