Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross won’t be seeing the field as a result of his recent arrest — the NFL just placed him on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.
Ross is facing domestic battery and criminal damage charges stemming from an altercation with a woman on Monday … in which the alleged victim claimed he was “dragging her” and wrecking the residence.
The 23-year-old — who was released on $2,500 bond — pleaded not guilty to the charges.
It’s a status that can only be handed down by Roger Goodell himself — once a player gets put on the exempt list, they are not allowed to play in games or practice with their team … but can still attend meetings and get any necessary medical treatment.
Despite the absence from competition, Ross will still get paid … and will not count toward the active roster.
Patrick Mahomes addressed his teammate’s arrest earlier this week … saying, “We love Justyn. I don’t know too many of the details as far as that goes. In this locker room, it’s a brotherhood, so we just try to pick each other up as much as possible.”
Ross joined the Chiefs in 2022 … and has three catches for 34 yards.
