Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross III has left training camp after both his young son and the boy's mother tested positive for COVID-19, sources told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

Ross missed practice Tuesday and there's no timetable for his return, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. He's expected to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Bengals drafted Ross ninth overall in 2017. He's amassed 49 receptions for 716 yards and 10 touchdowns through 24 career games.

Cincinnati declined the fifth-year option on Ross' rookie contract this offseason.
