Gets behind (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lags

'gets behind' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily and the New York Times.
