Ford (calf) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford will ultimately be able to give it a go after being hampered by a calf injury at practice throughout the week. The defensive lineman has compiled 16 total tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed over the team's last five contests following their Week 8 bye.

Ford (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Texas product logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Rams' week of practice, but it still appears he has a chance to suit up Sunday. Ford has appeared in all 12 of Los Angeles' games this season, recording 34 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed. If he's unavailable in Week 14, Ty Hamilton will likely operate as the Rams' top nose tackle.

Ford (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Sean McVay said that he expects Ford to play in Sunday's game versus the Cardinals. Ford plays a consistent role as the team's starting nose tackle, and he has recorded 34 tackles (14 solo), 1.0 sacks and a pass breakup through 12 games.

Ford (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Ford popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a calf injury. A late addition to the practice report typically doesn't bode well for a player's chance of suiting up on game day, but the veteran defensive lineman has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. In his first year with the Rams, Ford has totaled 30 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense.

Ford (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford appeared on the injury report Friday with a calf injury and was a limited participant in practice for the day. The ability to practice in any capacity means he has a decent chance at suiting up for the Rams' defense. Still, if the starter is unable to go, Ty Hamilton will likely be called upon to take more snaps at nose tackle.

Ford is in line to sign a three-year, $30 million contract with the Rams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford has been working under a one-year contract each of the past three seasons, but his efforts in 2024 have earned him a longer-term deal. The Texas product finished last season with 39 combined tackles, including tying a career high with 3.0 sacks, and a career-high five passes defended, including his first career interception.

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.
