From @gmfb Weekend: #Bengals WR John Ross needs to see a witch doctor or something this offseason. Poor guy was trying to do the team a solid this week and wound up getting hurt because of it. I explain ud83dudc47ud83cudffc https://t.co/aW8vAKSC42

Ross agreed to try his hand at corner due to the fact that both Darius Phillips and LeShaun Sims will miss Sunday's game due to injury, while practice squad cornerbacks Winston Rose and Brian Allen are out as well after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
