Falls behind (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lags

'falls behind' is the definition.
('lag' can be a synonym of 'fall behind')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lags that I've seen before include "Drag's one's feet" , "Fails to keep up" , "Slows down and falls behind" , "Convicts" , "Dawdles" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the USA Today, the Sydney Morning Herald and The New York Times.
