Good to go for Week 14
Ford (calf) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford will ultimately be able to give it a go after being hampered by a calf injury at practice throughout the week. The defensive lineman has compiled 16 total tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed over the team's last five contests following their Week 8 bye.

Could play Sunday
Ford (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Texas product logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Rams' week of practice, but it still appears he has a chance to suit up Sunday. Ford has appeared in all 12 of Los Angeles' games this season, recording 34 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed. If he's unavailable in Week 14, Ty Hamilton will likely operate as the Rams' top nose tackle.

Still dealing with calf issue
Ford (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Sean McVay said that he expects Ford to play in Sunday's game versus the Cardinals. Ford plays a consistent role as the team's starting nose tackle, and he has recorded 34 tackles (14 solo), 1.0 sacks and a pass breakup through 12 games.

Active vs. Carolina
Ford (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Ford popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a calf injury. A late addition to the practice report typically doesn't bode well for a player's chance of suiting up on game day, but the veteran defensive lineman has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. In his first year with the Rams, Ford has totaled 30 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense.

Questionable for Sunday
Ford (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Ford appeared on the injury report Friday with a calf injury and was a limited participant in practice for the day. The ability to practice in any capacity means he has a decent chance at suiting up for the Rams' defense. Still, if the starter is unable to go, Ty Hamilton will likely be called upon to take more snaps at nose tackle.

Shifting cities
Ford is in line to sign a three-year, $30 million contract with the Rams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford has been working under a one-year contract each of the past three seasons, but his efforts in 2024 have earned him a longer-term deal. The Texas product finished last season with 39 combined tackles, including tying a career high with 3.0 sacks, and a career-high five passes defended, including his first career interception.

Finishes 2024 with 3.0 sacks
Ford played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 39 tackles (24 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five pass defenses (including one interception).
Analysis: Ford signed a one-year, $1.79 million contract with the Chargers in March of 2024 after playing for the Bills in 2023. Ford matched a career high in sacks from 2022 as a member of the Seahawks, and he logged his first-career interception in Week 1 against the Raiders. Ford will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and should garner plenty of interest from teams looking to solidify their defensive fronts for the 2025 campaign.

Lands with Chargers
The Chargers signed Ford to a one-year contract Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: After spending his first five seasons with the Seahawks, Ford settled for a one-year deal from the Bills last offseason and registered just nine tackles (five solo) across eight games and 151 defensive snaps for Buffalo. Ford will look to get his career back on track on another one-year pact, this time in Los Angeles for new coach Jim Harbaugh.

Catches on with Buffalo
The Bills signed Ford to a one-year contract Tuesday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
Analysis: Undrafted out of Texas in 2018, Ford signed with the Seahawks and has since managed to become a significant contributor in the middle of the defense. Ford has started 64 games through five seasons and hasn't missed a contest since 2019. He has 7.5 career sacks and will try to carve out a role along Buffalo's interior alongside DaQuan Jones, Ed Oliver, Jordan Phillips and even Tim Settle.

First sack of season
Ford posted five tackles (four solo), a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Ford posted a season high in tackles and his first sack of the season in Week 6. The 26-year-old defensive tackle has had a slow start to the year with just 15 tackles through six games. He averaged more than three stops per game last year, so perhaps his strong performance this week is a sign that he has turned a corner.

Remains with Seattle
Ford signed a two-year deal with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Ford was set to be a restricted free agent but will return to the Seahawks for his fourth professional season. He logged a career-high 670 defensive snaps in 2020, which led to 40 tackles and two sacks. He projects to start at defensive tackle for Seattle in 2021. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the deal is worth up to $14 million.

Suffers calf injury
Ford suffered a calf injury during Saturday's playoff loss to the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old had four tackles (three solo) before suffering the injury during the second half. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Ford will now have the entire offseason to recover.

Ready to rock
Ford (calf) was back at practice Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Ford missed about a week of practice time while dealing with the calf issue and was back to first-team reps Monday. The 24-year-old filled a starting role last season and racked up 32 tackles (21 solo), and he's expected to reprise it in 2020 with little competition behind him.

Trending toward return
Ford (calf) is expected to return to practice Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford missed nearly a full week of practice, but head coach Pete Carroll believes the third-year pro will be back on the field soon. With little competition behind him, Ford appears locked into a starting role in 2020 and could see an uptick in snaps -- he averaged 34.5 per game last season.

No practice Tuesday
Ford (undisclosed) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Pete Carroll hasn't elaborated on Ford's potential injury, but the third-year defensive tackle missed a second straight practice. Ford has all but locked up a starting role for the 2020 season, and since he's still watching practice from the sidelines, there's no major concern about his availability in Week 1.

Records 32 stops in 2019
Ford, who made six tackles over two playoff games, finished the 2019 season with 32 tackles and 0.5 sacks over 15 regular-season games.
Analysis: Ford exceeded last year's 21-tackle total. The second-year defensive tackle started 14 of 15 contests, and he averaged 34.5 defensive snaps per game. Ford's usage was bumped up in the postseason with a 66-percent snap share. The 24-year-old will be under contract for the 2020 season at a cap hit of $662,558, and he'll compete for a starting role again even if the Seahawks add to their defensive front during the offseason.

Matches 2018 tackle total
Ford generated three tackles -- 1.5 for a loss -- 0.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in Monday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: The second-year pro now has 21 tackles through nine games, matching the 2018 total he produced over 11 contests. The defensive tackle consistently records around a 50-percent snap share, but Ford has yet to surpass three stops in a contest, making him an unappealing fantasy performer.
