Ford played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 39 tackls (24 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five pass defenses (including one interception).
EDGE 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 its defensive front for the 2025 campaign.

The Chargers signed Ford to a one-year contract Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE 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.

The Bills signed Ford to a one-year contract Tuesday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
EDGE 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.

Ford posted five tackles (four solo), a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE 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.

Ford (calf) is expected to return to practice Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE 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.

Ford (undisclosed) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE 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.
