Report: Bengals' Ross to make pro debut Thursday vs. Texans

The Cincinnati Bengals will get to test out their new toy on Thursday night.

Rookie receiver John Ross is expected to make his pro debut on "Thursday Night Football" versus the Houston Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Ross, the ninth overall pick in this year's draft, earned just one catch and two rushes during the preseason before spraining his knee in the team's final exhibition game - holding him out of the Bengals' lineup in Week 1.

The speedster from Washington set a new record in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, clocking in at 4.22 seconds.
