Ford (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford has missed two consecutive games with a hamstring injury. He'll probably need to return to the field Thursday or Friday in order to have any chance of playing in Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Ford (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford was unable to practice this week and will therefore miss what is essentially a fifth consecutive game with the injury. The 28-year-old will likely need to get some practice in next week in order to suit up against Seattle.

Ford (hamstring) is not participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford appears on track to miss his third straight practice, but he did manage to participate in drills off to the side Thursday, according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. It's looking likely that the veteran defensive end will forced to miss a second consecutive contest, in which case Solomon Thomas would likely see another uptick in snaps.

Ford (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford missed consecutive practices, and it's increasingly unlikely he's ready to go by Saturday's game against the Rams. When Ford's in the lineup, he's a disruptive threat with 6.5 sacks over 11 games despite averaging just 21 defensive snaps per contest. During Ford's absence, Solomon Thomas was afforded an increase in usage and figures to retain the role if Ford can't go again.

Ford (hamstring) was unable to practice Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 49ers merely held a walk-through Tuesday, but it's not a good sign that Ford is still sidelined. He'll most likely need to get on the practice field in at least a limited capacity this week in order to suit up against the Rams.

Ford has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford was unable to practice this week and will miss his third game out of the last four. Solomon Thomas played 33 snaps after Ford left Week 14's contest against the Saints and will likely continue to be the primary replacement for the 28-year-old.

Ford did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to aggravated injuries to his hamstring and quadriceps, Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford quickly re-aggravated his hamstring injury during Sunday's win over the Saints, as he only managed to log four defensive snaps in the contest. Should he be sidelined again in Week 15 versus the Falcons, Solomon Thomas could see an uptick in usage behind starting defensive ends Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead.

Ford (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford likely aggravated the hamstring injury that forced him to miss the last two games, and he's been out since the first quarter. Now that he's officially done for the day, Solomon Thomas and Jeremiah Valoaga likely will continue to see an uptick in snaps. Expect the team to comment on the specifics of Ford's injury in the coming days.

Ford (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear if it's the same hamstring injury that forced Ford to miss the last two games, but he left the game late in the first quarter. As long as Ford is sidelined, Solomon Thomas and Jeremiah Valoaga stand to see an uptick in snaps.

Ford (quadriceps) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Saints, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford is set to retake the field after a two-game absence against New Orleans on Sunday. The veteran defensive end stands to play his usual rotational role in San Francisco's pass rush.
