According to the NFL Player Personnel Policy Manual, the "Exempt List is a special player status available to clubs only in unusual circumstances. The List includes those players who have been declared by the Commissioner to be temporarily exempt from counting within the Active List limit. Only the Commissioner has the authority to place a player on the Exempt List; clubs have no such authority, and no exemption, regardless of circumstances, is automatic.

"The Commissioner also has the authority to determine in advance whether a player's time on the Exempt List will be finite or will continue until the Commissioner deems the exemption should be lifted and the player returned to the Active List."

Ross has three catches for 34 yards in seven games this season for Kansas City, his first year with the team. He signed a three-year, $2.56 million deal with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Clemson last year. He did not play as a rookie after having foot surgery last July.
