Minnesota’s practice squad now includes:
Ross, 26, originally signed on with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan in 2022. He bounced on and off Baltimore’s practice squad in 2023 but was among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason in 2024.
He returned to Baltimore’s practice squad but was cut loose during the season and claimed by the Seahawks, where he finished out the year. Seattle declined to tender him but re-signed him to a one-year deal, only to waive him during final roster cuts.
From there, he signed with the Vikings in December of last year. He signed a futures contract with the team in January but was waived in August as part of the team’s final roster cuts.
He had a stint with the Seahawks on the practice squad before returning to Minnesota.
In 2024, Ross appeared in seven games for the Ravens and 10 games for the Seahawks. He recorded nine total tackles.
