Lands on IR
Ford (hamstring) was placed on the Packers' injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Ford was sidelined for the Packers' previous three games and apparently was not nearing a return. In his absence, Anthony Johnson and Zayne Anderson could see some extra reps providing depth at safety behind Jonathan Owens and Darnell Savage.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Favorite for starting role
Ford is the most likely candidate to replace Adrian Amos in the Packers secondary, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
A sixth-round pick of the Cardinals in 2017, Ford bounced through two other teams before landing in Green Bay last year, and he wound up playing all 17 games while handling a career-high 424 defensive snaps. Amos is currently unsigned and could return to Green Bay in free agency, but the team hasn't made any significant additions to the roster at safety, leaving Ford as the likely next man up to start opposite Darnell Savage.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ford is set to step in as the starting strong safety in his second season with the Packers. Ford recorded three interceptions in 2022, and the departure of Adrian Amos opens up some opportunities for stops, so there is a chance he could be a fantasy factor during the upcoming campaign.
