Might tired kangaroo be thus restricted? (3,2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

out of bounds

'restricted?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for out of bounds that I've seen before include "Skipper so exhausted" , "lying beyond field of play?" , "taboo" , "like an exhausted kangaroo?" , "Off limits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
