Out of practice (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rusty

stale

'out of practice' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stale that I've seen before include "No longer take" , "Not fresh, being least" , "no longer bearing interest?" , "No longer fresh" , "piss" .)

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