Don't forget that John Ross specifically hid an injury his rookie year in hopes that he didn't have to go to IR. To me, that doesn't show that Ross doesn't want to play. In fact, it shows the opposite.

I think you are projecting because Eifert had 1 good season whereas Ross has not.

I dunno about you, but if my family was potentially in jeopardy and I had an opportunity to take a few weeks away from my job to help them in any way, I would 100% do that. Family > career.

I'm not hacking on him for that decision, far be it for anyone to criticize a personal decision like that. If his kid's sick, then by all means he should go. I just don't get the impression from him, from his history, from watching him on the sidelines, etc., that he is itching to play. I might be wrong, it's just the impression I get from him that if he can find a way not to be on the field and still make his money, he will take it.
