He was in the custody of the Johnson County
Sheriff's Office late Monday afternoon, according to multiple
media reports. Ross was due for a court appearance Tuesday
afternoon.
KCTU5 TV reported that the arrest was classified by the
sheriff's office as occurring in connection with a domestic
violence allegation.
The Chiefs acknowledged awareness of the arrest but issued no
further comment, according to ESPN.
Ross, 23, was signed by Kansas City as an undrafted free agent
out of Clemson in May 2022. He missed all of last season due to
a foot injury.
He made his NFL debut this year, and he has appeared off the
bench in all seven of the Chiefs' games. Ross has three catches
for 34 yards and a touchdown, though he hasn't been targeted
with a pass in either of the past two games.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said earlier Monday of Ross, "We're
trying to bring him along here. I know he didn't have the
catches, but he was in on quite a few plays. I just think the
more of that, the better for him. He's got a lot of talent, and
we want to keep bringing him along."
Ross had a 1,000-yard receiving season for Clemson as a freshman
in 2018, but he missed all of the 2020 season following spinal
surgery.
