Out of practice (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rusty

stale

'out of practice' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stale that I've seen before include "No longer take" , "Not fresh, being least" , "no longer bearing interest?" , "No longer fresh" , "piss" .)

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