The Panthers released Ford on Tuesday. Ford was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury during the playoffs while with the Packers last season and signed with Carolina just 13 days ago. The 29-year-old has appeared in 86 career games (21 starts) and has six interceptions across the last three years. Ford should find work elsewhere at some point in 2024.

The Panthers signed Ford (hamstring) to a contract Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Ford ended last season on IR with the Packers due to a hamstring injury, but he's now passed his physical with Carolina. The veteran safety boasts substantial NFL experience and could earn a significant depth role in the Panthers' secondary.

Ford (hamstring) did not participate at the Packers' practice Thursday. Ford has now missed each of Green Bay's first two sessions of the week, including Wednesday's walkthrough, putting his Week 18 availability into doubt. The safety has one more opportunity to return to the practice field Friday, but if he can't go in Week 18, Anthony Johnson is a candidate to see an increase in workload against Chicago.

Ford (back) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Ford popped up on Green Bay's injury report as a limited participant in Friday's practice due to a back issue, but it seems as if he'll play through the pain in Week 16. The 29-year-old is coming off an eight-tackle outing in Week 15, and he'll likely start alongside Jonathan Owens in the Packers' secondary Sunday.

Ford (biceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Green Bay's starting strong safety has missed the team's last two contests with this biceps issue, but he was able to log a week of limited practice sessions, so he has a chance to return Week 13. If Ford is unable to suit up this weekend, Anthony Johnson would likely make the fourth start of his career in the Packers' secondary.
