Lung-protecting bone (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rib

(Other definitions for rib that I've seen before include "Poke fun at the bone" , "Tease (sl.)" , "One of 12 pairs of curved bones" , "One of the 12 pairs of curved arches of bone" , "that was sacrificed for wife originally" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
