By Tuesday, there wasn’t much of a surprise when it was reported that the Kansas City Chiefs were keeping wide receiver Justyn Ross on the initial 53-man roster. Anyone paying attention to training camp and the preseason saw this coming for weeks.
It’s still a monumental moment for multiple reasons. For one, Ross is finally living out a dream that felt stolen from him when he was diagnosed with a congenital fusion of two vertebrae in his neck during the 2020 season at Clemson. He had to battle through two surgeries to get back on a football field, let alone play in the NFL.
