The Dolphins signed Ford to their 53-man roster Wednesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Ford had been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's win over the Raiders, with the wideout going on to reel in four of five targets for 37 yards. With DeVante Parker (hamstring) still iffy for Week 17 and Jakeem Grant (ankle) potentially out multiple weeks, Ford will now get a permanent spot on the roster. If the two banged-up wideouts end up sitting Sunday against the Bills, Ford could step into a starting role.
