Out of practice (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rusty

stale

'out of practice' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rusty that I've seen before include "Oxidised, corroded" , "Reddish," , "(Of iron) corroded" , "affected by inactivity" , "Having a reddish-orange oxide coating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Mirror, The Times, The Sunday Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press, The Telegraph, the LA Times, the Newsday and The Independent.
