Browns' Jerome Ford: Sent to IR
The Cleveland Browns placed Jerome Ford on injured reserve Tuesday due to a shoulder injury.Ford sustained the injury during the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans this past Sunday, when he played 19 total snaps (13 offense, six special teams). With just four games left on the Browns' schedule, Ford's 2025 campaign -- and perhaps his tenure in Cleveland -- will come to an end. The fourth-year running back was highly inefficient during the final season of his rookie deal, averaging 3.0 yards on 24 carries and 4.0 yards on 26 receptions while failing to find the end zone in 13 games. Ford's absence over the next four weeks could clear the way for Raheim Sanders to step in as the No. 3 running back behind fellow rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson.

Browns' Jerome Ford: Fills in as kick returner
Jerome Ford caught two of three targets for 10 yards and returned five kickoffs for 113 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to Tennessee in Week 14.Ford was needed to fill in on kickoff returns after the team's primary returner, Malachi Corley (concussion), was removed from the contest and never returned. Ford, who has fallen behind Dylan Sampson in the running-back rotation, has seen an uptick in activity the last two games, garnering six targets, five catches and 27 receiving yards in addition to his work on special teams. He leads the backfield in targets (29) and catches (24).

Browns' Jerome Ford: May benefit from injured teammate
Jerome Ford could see extra duty Sunday against the Titans due to Dylan Sampson (calf) being questionable for Week 14.Sampson, who injured his calf in last week's loss to San Francisco, was able to practice on a limited basis Friday after missing the first two practices, but it was not enough to avoid the questionable designation. Ford spelled Sampson last week and garnered his most touches since Week 7. Quinshon Judkins dominates the playing time and touches in the backfield, but Ford was often used as a third-down back before losing time to Sampson in recent weeks.

Browns' Jerome Ford: More active than usual
Jerome Ford caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to San Francisco in Week 13.Ford lost roles as the primary backup to Quinshon Judkins and pass-catching back to Dylan Sampson, but the latter was removed from Sunday's game early in the third quarter with a calf injury. Ford's three touches were the most he'd seen since Week 7, but he could see extra work again in Week 14 against the Titans if Sampson's injury proves to be serious.

Browns' Jerome Ford: Active Sunday
Jerome Ford (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.The running back entered the day with a questionable tag after missing practice Thursday, but he appears to be good to go. His snap count will be a bigger question, as Dylan Sampson saw 19 offensive snaps to Ford's eight in Week 12 against Las Vegas. Both remain behind rookie starter Quinshon Judkins on the depth chart.

Browns' Jerome Ford: Questionable for Week 13
Jerome Ford (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.Ford has missed significant practice reps this week, putting his status in jeopardy for Week 13. If Ford is unable to play, rookie Dylan Sampson would likely be locked into pass-down work behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins on early downs. Sampson appeared to pass Ford on the depth chart in Week 12 against Las Vegas, turning nine touches into 82 yards and one touchdown on 19 offensive snaps.

Browns' Jerome Ford: Downgrades to DNP
Jerome Ford (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.Ford was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but an apparent setback with his hamstring injury rendered him unable to participate Thursday. Ford therefore appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the 49ers, and Friday's practice participation or lack thereof will provide further clarity of his chances of suiting up.

Browns' Jerome Ford: Another one-touch game
Jerome Ford had one carry for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12.Ford's marginalization continued, as the fourth-year back logged one touch for a fifth straight game and played a season-low eight snaps. Once a viable option as a third-down back, he's gone untargeted in two straight and was thrown to just five times in the last five contests. The Cleveland Browns are rolling with a backfield of Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson and will keep doing so unless one of the rookies gets injured.

Browns' Jerome Ford: Logs one touch in loss
Jerome Ford had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore in Week 11.In the two games following Cleveland's bye week, Ford has just one target and two carries while playing 31 snaps. It was mildly surprising that the Cleveland Browns didn't trade him, given that Ford's in the final year of his contract. He currently shares the backup role with rookie Dylan Sampson.
