Who Should I Start? John Ross or Dax Milne

Tuesday, December 3, 6:33 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday released veteran wide receiver John Ross (undisclosed) from their practice squad. Ross was active for one game with the Eagles this year and caught one of his two targets for a six-yard pickup and had been on the practice-squad injured list due to an undisclosed ailment since Oct. 21. The 29-year-old speedster will now go back on the open market and he's unlikely to sign with another team with only five weeks remaining in the 2024 season. The former ninth overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals back in 2017 out of Washington played in 10 games (one start) with the New York Giants back in 2021 and had 11 receptions on 20 targets for 224 yards and one touchdown. Ross did have seven scores in his second season in 2018 with Cincy and had a career-high 506 receiving yards the following year, but that was the extent of his production in the NFL.

The Carolina Panthers released wide receiver Dax Milne on Thursday, along with another slew of roster cuts. The 2021 seventh-round pick by the Washington Commanders out of BYU spent most of last season on Carolina's practice squad following stints in Washington and Las Vegas. Overall, the 25-year-old has played in 28 career games (none since 2022), racking up 15 receptions for 120 yards and one touchdown. He also has 40 career punt returns and 15 career kickoff returns. Based on his inability to crack an active roster and his early-offseason release, it would be a surprise if he makes an impact for a team anytime soon.
