Ford is reportedly dealing with what Adam Schefter of ESPN describes as a low grade, high right-ankle sprain that is expected to sideline the running back for one-to-two weeks.

EDGE Analysis

The team has yet to confirm Ford's injury, but it looks like Ford is trending toward missing Sunday's road game against the Seahawks. If that's the case, Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong would be in line to lead the Browns' Week 8 backfield. Prior to exiting Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts, Ford had carried 11 times for 74 yards and a TD and caught two of his four targets for 20 yards.

Ford, who suffered a right ankle injury during Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts, was spotted after the contest wearing a protective boot, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to his departure from the contest, Ford logged 11 carries for 74 yards and a TD and caught two of his four targets for 20 yards. Now that he's dealing with an ankle issue, Ford's status for next weekend's game against the Seahawks will need to be monitored. If he ends up limited or sidelined in Week 8, Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong would be next up for the Browns' RB touches, with Deon Jackson potentially a candidate to mix in.

Ford was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts with an ankle injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to his exit, Ford carried 11 times for 74 yards and a TD and caught two of his four targets for 20 yards. In his absence, Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong are next up for the Browns' Week 7 carries.

Ford rushed 17 times for 84 yards and caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Kareem Hunt ran in a 16-yard touchdown in the second quarter among his season-high 12 carries, while Ford seemed headed for a third consecutive quiet game prior to coming alive in the fourth quarter. Ford ripped off runs of 13, 14 and 22 yards to set up a pair of Cleveland field goals, the latter of which ended up being the game-winner. This was a nice bounce-back performance from Ford after he had mustered just 44 yards on 19 carries over the previous two games, and the potential return of starting quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) in Week 7 against the Colts could lead to fewer stacked boxes and open up more running lanes for Ford.

Ford (knee) practiced fully Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford was listed as limited Wednesday, but his return to a full session a day later sets the stage for the running back to suit up Sunday against the 5-0 49ers. In the Browns' Week 4 loss to the Ravens, Ford logged 43 snaps and carried nine times for 26 yards while catching five of his six targets for 19 yards. This time around, Ford is in line to continue to lead a Cleveland backfield that also includes Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong, but the trio will be up against a stout San Francisco run defense that has limited opponents to an average of 64.2 rushing yards per game to date, which is second-best in the league.

Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt noted Thursday that Ford's knee issue isn't a concern ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but it appears as though his limitations were maintenance related. That said, the Browns' top running back will need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid a Week 6 injury designation.

Ford was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even with the benefit of a Week 5 bye, Ford is apparently banged up as the Browns begin preparing for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers. The Browns' lead back has two more chances to upgrade to full participation and thus avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.

Ford rushed nine times for 26 yards while catching five of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Ford struggled to find running lanes with Baltimore stacking the box against rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson after Deshaun Watson (shoulder) was ruled out during pregame warmups. On the bright side, Ford led the Browns in rushing attempts again while Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong had five carries apiece. Ford should continue to lead Cleveland's backfield when the Browns host the 49ers in Week 6, and Watson could be back under center after the team's Week 5 bye.

Ford (shoulder) was a full practice participant Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford was limited in the Browns' first Week 4 practice session Wednesday, but the running back's return to a full activity Thursday paves the way for him to lead the backfield Sunday against the Ravens. Even with the Browns re-signing Kareem Hunt (ribs/groin) and making him active for this past Sunday's win over the Titans, Ford still handled a majority of the snaps (55 percent) on offense and accounted for two total touchdowns and 51 yards on 12 touches.

Ford (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the first time a shoulder injury has popped up for Ford, who has 182 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns in the last two games since stepping into the lead role following Nick Chubb's season-ending knee injury. A limited showing Wednesday isn't much cause for concern, and Ford can put any doubts about his availability for Sunday's game against Baltimore to rest by practicing fully Thursday or Friday. Kareem Hunt (ribs/groin) and Pierre Strong worked in complementary roles behind Ford in last week's win over Tennessee.
