Ford (forearm) recorded 13 total tackles across 17 games in 2024. Ford primarily played a reserve role for the Browns' defense this season, making no starts over his 17 appearances. The veteran cornerback logged just 56 defensive snaps compared to his 150 in 2023, which explains the significant drop in his tackle total from 28 to 13 in 2024. He's now set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason after signing a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Browns last offseason. If Ford stays in Cleveland for 2025, he's expected to remain a depth piece in the team's secondary while also contributing on special teams.

Ford (forearm) recorded 13 total tackles across 17 games in 2024. Ford primarily played a reserve role for the Browns' defense this season, making no starts over his 17 appearances. The veteran cornerback logged just 56 defensive snaps compared to his 150 in 2023, which explains the significant drop in his tackle total from 28 to 13 in 2024.

Ford (forearm) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Ravens. Ford injured his forearm in the third quarter of Saturday's game. He got the start at outside corner due to Denzel Ward (shoulder) being inactive. Cameron Mitchell and Rodney McLeod should see some snaps at outside corner for as long as Ford is sidelined.
Ford (concussion) is clear to play Sunday against Kansas City, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Ford suffered a concussion Sunday against the Steelers, but he was able to log a full practice Friday and appears to have cleared the NFL's protocol for head injuries. The veteran cornerback will likely assume his usual role on special teams Sunday. Ford has logged just 10 defensive snaps as opposed to 256 snaps on special teams through 13 games this season.
Ford (concussion) was a limited participant in Cleveland's practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Ford is still in the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury during the team's Week 14 loss versus the Steelers. While the 29-year-old will look to be good to go for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, if he ends up being unable to play, Chigozie Anusiem would likely see increased playing time.
Ford (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Ford was initially cleared to return to Sunday's game, but he has since been diagnosed with a concussion and will not return for the second half. Ford will have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Week 15 against Kansas City on Sunday, Dec. 15.
Ford (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the Steelers, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Ford was being evaluated for a concussion, but he has been cleared to return to Sunday's contest. He will continue to serve in a special teams role.
Ford is getting checked on for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 14 game against Pittsburgh, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. Ford was deemed to need a concussion check in the first quarter, and it's uncertain if he'll be able to return Sunday. The veteran defender was hurt on a punt play. Ford has logged only 10 defensive snaps this season while playing 249 snaps on special teams.
Ford (cramps) was absent from the Browns' injury report Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Ford exited Monday night's loss to the Broncos due to cramps, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's already past the issue. Expect Ford to continue serving as one of Cleveland's top special-teamers in Week 14, when the Browns travel to Pittsburgh.
Ford (cramps) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Broncos, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. Ford went down with cramps in the second half, placing his status for the remainder of the contest in question. The cornerback failed to record any stats before his departure. With Ford on the sidelines, Cameron Mitchell is a candidate to see an increased workload at cornerback.
