The Bengals face the Colts in their preseason finale, and John Ross hopes he’ll give fans a reason to watch.

Ross said he hopes to receive ample snaps on Thursday. The wide receiver has been held back since he’s returned from surgery.

Ross was selected in the top 10 this year to add another new dynamic to the Bengals’ offense. Ross, a true speed threat, can play across A.J. Green and in the slot. Cincinnati is in a fortunate enough position offensively that they aren’t pressed to rush him back.
