Crossword Genius

Reveal players rejected (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outcast

'rejected' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'reveal players' is the wordplay.
'reveal' becomes 'out' (outing is a kind of revealing).
'players' becomes 'cast' (I've seen this before**).
'out'+'cast'='OUTCAST'

(Other definitions for outcast that I've seen before include "untouchable" , "Displaced person" , "Role of Ishmael" , "Rejected individual" , "A reject like 10 Across" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
