Out of practice (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rusty

stale

'out of practice' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rusty that I've seen before include "Oxidised, corroded" , "Reddish," , "(Of iron) corroded" , "affected by inactivity" , "Having a reddish-orange oxide coating" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Times, The Mirror, the Penny Press, The Sunday Times, The Independent, The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times and the USA Today.
