Dee Ford: Cut loose by Niners
The 49ers released Ford (back) on Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Back in 2019, the Niners sent the Chiefs a second-round pick for Ford, who then signed a five-year, $87.5 million contract. He had 6.5 sacks in 11 games his first season with the Niners, but then just three sacks in seven games the past two years combined. Ford's struggles with health stretched into the offseason, with a back injury keeping him off the field at OTAs and June minicamp. He's been bothered by his back since last fall, with 49ers general manager John Lynch saying in March that he didn't have much hope for Ford to contribute in 2022. The 31-year-old pass rusher may require another surgery if he wants to continue his playing career.

49ers' Dee Ford: Still not practicing
Ford (back) was absent from practice Tuesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
It's unfortunately more of the same for Ford, who was also unable to participate in OTAs a couple weeks ago. He will try to recover in time for training camp to compete with 2022 second-round pick Drake Jackson for the starting job on the edge of San Francisco's defensive line opposite Nick Bosa.

49ers' Dee Ford: Not at OTAs
Ford (back) was not seen at San Francisco's OTA sessions Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Ford dealt with back injuries in 2021 that limited him to just six games played before being sidelined in late October and missing the remainder of the season. The eighth-year defensive end has appeared in just seven games over the past two seasons for the 49ers, so his absence from any on-field drills Tuesday is not an encouraging sign for his long-term health. Ford is entering the final season of his contract with San Francisco and the remarks on his health by general manager John Lynch in late March seem to indicate that the team may ultimately choose to part ways before the start of the regular season.
