Chest protector (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

bib

rib

'chest protector' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rib that I've seen before include "Tease good-naturedly" , "One of the 12 pairs in the body" , "Bone; umbrella rod" , "Tease; body part" , "A chest-bone, may be floating" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate and the Evening Standard.
