Collects eight tackles Sunday
Ford (fibula) recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Ford was placed on New Orleans' injured reserve list prior to its final game of the 2024 season due to a broken fibula, but he was back in playing shape for the team's 2025 preseason opener. The 2024 fifth-rounder isn't a lock for a roster spot for the upcoming campaign, but having tied for the team lead in tackles in Sunday's preseason contest certainly won't hurt his case.

Placed on IR
The Saints moved Ford (fibula) to injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ford fractured his fibula Sunday against Las Vegas and is set to have surgery. The rookie linebacker played exclusively on special teams this season. The Saints signed tackle Josh Ball from the Cowboys' practice squad to their active roster Tuesday in a corresponding move.

Done for 2024
Head coach Darren Rizzi said Monday that Ford will have surgery for a fractured fibula that he suffered during the Saints' 25-10 loss to the Raiders on Sunday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ford was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game after suffering the injury on punt coverage. Per John Hendrix of SI.com, the Saints will conduct additional tests on Ford's leg to see if there's any further structural or ligament damage beyond the fracture before moving ahead with surgery. The rookie fifth-round pick played primarily on special teams during his first NFL regular season and finished with four tackles (two solo) across eight games.

Suffers leg injury in Week 17
Ford (lower leg) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Ford was hurt while on punt coverage late in the fourth quarter. He was carted off the field and ruled out shortly thereafter. Per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football, Ford's injury was to his fibula.

Full go Wednesday
Ford (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Ford missed each of the Saints' first two contests due to a hamstring injury, but following Wednesday's full practice, it appears he's moved past the issue. The 2024 fifth-round pick from Texas will now have the opportunity to make his NFL debut in Week 3, as the Saints host the Eagles.
Sep 15, 2024
Inactive for Week 2
Ford (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ANALYSIS
Ford was a limited participant in all three practices this week, but he hasn't progressed through his hamstring injury enough to suit up for Sunday's contest. The rookie fifth-round pick has missed the first two games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury he sustained in training camp. Week 3 against the Eagles on Sept. 22 will be Ford's next opportunity to make his NFL debut.

Won't play Sunday
Ford (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Ford missing New Orleans' Week 1 contest comes as no surprise, given that the 22-year-old linebacker missed the entire week of practice due to a hamstring issue. Expect Anfernee Orji to serve as the Saints' top rotational inside linebacker in Ford's stead.

Nursing hamstring injury
Ford left Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fifth-round pick sat out for most of the summer due to a knee injury he sustained in late 2023. Ford recovered from that injury and managed to play 13 snaps (nine on defense, four on special teams) and registered three tackles in Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals. This latest setback could keep Ford from suiting up against San Francisco on Sunday.
