Kansas City Chiefs cut Super Bowl-winning wide receiver Justyn Ross days before training camp

Kansas City Chiefs cut Super Bowl-winning wide receiver Justyn Ross days before training camp

Kansas City Chiefs will head into training camp next week without wide receiver Justyn Ross.

The 25-year-old has been cut – reportedly at his own request – by the Chiefs days before they step up their preparations for the new season, with camp starting July 22.

Wide receiver Ross was part of the Chiefs teams that won back-to-back Super Bowls in 2023 and 2024 but didn’t play in either showpiece game.

He leaves Kansas City looking to rebuild his career in the NFL. He spent three seasons with the Chiefs but only played in 2023 and 2024. 

His career stats of six catches for 53 yards all occurred in 2023 but at 25, and a standout player from his college days in Clemson, he has plenty to offer.

Injuries blighted Ross’s time with the team – he needed surgery on his spine and foot during his time at Arrowhead.

And in October 2023, he made headlines for the wrong reasons. He was arrested in Kansas on charges of criminal damage. The charged were termined in November 2023.

Andy Reid is looking to rejuvinate his offense ahead of the new season after his team were blown away in the Super Bowl by Philadelphia Eagles.

Injuries played their part last season – Rashee Rice missed most of the campaign with an ACL tear and Hollywood Brown’s shoulder surgery saw him miss significant time.

Travis Kelce’s struggles for top form have been well documented too, but the тιԍнт end has been working hard in the offseason to make sure he starts 2025 in the best condition possible. 

The Chiefs begin the campaign in Brazil, facing AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo on September 5.
