The Bears signed Ford off their practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford has appeared in three games for the Bears this season, failing to record a stat across 36 defensive snaps. Now back with the active roster, he's expected to play a depth role on Chicago's defensive line in the Week 8 matchup against the Ravens.

The Packers activated Ford (calf) to their active roster Monday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford had missed the Packers' first seven games this season on injured reserve after sustaining a calf injury in late August, but Monday's activation suggests the Miami product has moved past the issue. In a corresponding move, the Packers released long snapper Matthew Orzech.

The Packers designated Ford (calf) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford began the regular season on IR due to a calf injury he sustained during the Packers' preseason finale in late August. He will now have a 21-day window to return to practice and, ultimately, be added to the active roster. If Ford is not added to the roster by the end of the window, he will revert to IR and stay on there for the rest of the season. Ford has yet to play in a regular-season game since being selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Ford (calf) was placed on IR on Tuesday with a designation to return.

EDGE Analysis

Ford exited the Packers' final preseason game with the injury, which had him carted to the locker room. The 25-year-old will have a chance to return this season, once healthy, but he'll have to miss at least the first four games of the season.

Ford left Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens with a calf injury.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive tackle was carted to the locker room, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Ford assisted on two tackles before leaving. The 2022 seventh-round pick has yet to appear in a regular-season game in his career.
