Injury limits debut with new club
Ford finished with 14 tackles (10 solo), 6.5 sacks and two forced fumbles over 11 games during the 2019 regular season.
Analysis: Ford teamed up with rookie Nick Bosa and DeForest Buckner to create the league's best pass-rushing defensive line. The 28-year-old had his season stunted due to a hamstring injury that never fully healed even after his return during the playoffs. An offseason of rest should give Ford enough time to heal up for the 2020 campaign, but his IDP value is limited due to minuscule tackle totals as a situational -- albeit elite -- pass rusher.

Limited again Friday
Ford (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Ford put together a trio of limited practices this week. He'll have nine more days to get as close to 100 percent health as possible ahead of the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, including three more chances to increase his practice activity.

Limited in Thursday's practice
Ford (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford has now logged back-to-back limited practices, though Wednesday's session was merely an estimate. The 28-year-old will have a week and a half to ramp up his activity ahead of the Super Bowl on Feb. 2. He's on track to play his usual role as a pass-rush specialist.

Limited on estimate
Ford (quadriceps/hamstring) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Ford managed to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Green Bay, so there's reason to suspect that his limitations are mostly precautionary. Assuming he avoids a setback in the next two weeks, the 28-year-old can be considered on track to play his usual role as a pass-rush specialist in the Super Bowl.

Clear of injury designation
Ford (quadriceps/hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Green Bay.
Analysis: Ford began the week not practicing due to the quadriceps and hamstring injuries, but he was able to progress to full participation Friday and avoid the questionable tag. The 28-year-old had a sack last week against the Vikings in his first game action since Week 14 and should serve in his usual role as a pass-rush specialist this weekend.

Upgrades to limited practice
Ford (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Ford didn't practice Wednesday, so Thursday's limited session represents a tangible step in the right direction. He'll have one more opportunity to practice fully Friday and enter the NFC Championship Game against Green Bay without an injury designation.

Not practicing Wednesday
Ford (hamstring) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan said that the situation surrounding Ford's hamstring injury hasn't changed at all. Given that the veteran defensive end was able to suit up for the divisional-round win over Minnesota, he appears on track to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers. Ford will have two more opportunities to practice in some capacity before the 49ers decide whether he'll carry a designation into the contest.

Good to go
Ford (hamstring) is available for Saturday's matchup with the Vikings, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Questionable for divisional round
Ford (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's NFC divisional-round contest against the Vikings, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford kicked off the week with back-to-back limited practices, so his questionable tag doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 28-year-old appears to have a fair shot at suiting up against Minnesota on Saturday, in which case he'll likely play a rotational role at defensive end.

Limited again Wednesday
Ford (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Ford is practicing in a limited fashion for a second straight day, keeping him on track for Saturday's game against the Vikings. Coach Kyle Shanahan previously expressed optimism about the 28-year-old's availability for this weekend, and there's been no indication he's suffered any setbacks. Ford appears to be trending in the right direction, but he could fully avoid an injury designation if he's able to practice without limitations Thursday.

Ford (hamstring) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Ford missed the last three regular-season games, and he's had an extra week to recover since the 49ers secured a bye. Coach Kyle Shanahan has expressed optimism that Ford will be able to play in Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus the Vikings, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports reports. If Ford can elevate to full participation, it'll clear all doubts about his status, but he seems to be on the right track regardless.

Coach hopeful for return
Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed that he's optimistic Ford (quadriceps/hamstring) will be ready for the divisional playoff round Jan. 11, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford has dealt with a quadriceps injury for almost the entire year, and he's missed five of the last six games. The team hopes the upcoming bye week will be enough to get him back into the fold. Ford hasn't played more than 27 defensive snaps in a game since Week 1, so his playing time will likely be limited if he's able to return.

Ford (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Sidelined Thursday
Ford (hamstring) is not participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford appears on track to miss his third straight practice, but he did manage to participate in drills off to the side Thursday, according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. It's looking likely that the veteran defensive end will forced to miss a second consecutive contest, in which case Solomon Thomas would likely see another uptick in snaps.

Unfit to practice
Ford (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford missed consecutive practices, and it's increasingly unlikely he's ready to go by Saturday's game against the Rams. When Ford's in the lineup, he's a disruptive threat with 6.5 sacks over 11 games despite averaging just 21 defensive snaps per contest. During Ford's absence, Solomon Thomas was afforded an increase in usage and figures to retain the role if Ford can't go again.

Non-participant Wednesday
Ford did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to aggravated injuries to his hamstring and quadriceps, Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Ford quickly re-aggravated his hamstring injury during Sunday's win over the Saints, as he only managed to log four defensive snaps in the contest. Should he be sidelined again in Week 15 versus the Falcons, Solomon Thomas could see an uptick in usage behind starting defensive ends Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead.

Done for Week 14

Analysis: Ford likely aggravated the hamstring injury that forced him to miss the last two games, and he's been out since the first quarter. Now that he's officially done for the day, Solomon Thomas and Jeremiah Valoaga likely will continue to see an uptick in snaps.

Aggravates injury
Ford (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Practicing with limitations
Ford (quadriceps) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Ford has sat out the past two games due to this injury, but it's a positive sign that he's starting the week on the practice field. The sixth-year defensive end hasn't surpassed 27 defensive snaps since Week 1, though, so if he's able to suit up Sunday against the Saints, he's slated for a similar role.

Analysis: Ford missed this past Sunday's win over the Packers, but coach Kyle Shanahan said the defensive end has a chance to play this week against the Ravens, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. He's trending in the wrong direction to start the week, but Ford has two more practices to prove his health.

Analysis: The 28-year-old suffered the right hamstring strain Week 11 versus the Cardinals and didn't play during Sunday's win over the Packers, but he may only end up missing the one game. Ford's status should receive additional clarity when the team returns to practice later this week.

Injury cause for concern
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Ford could miss a couple of weeks with a hamstring strain, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Ford suffered the hamstring injury in the first half of Sunday's win over the Cardinals and didn't return. This news is obviously not a great sign for his Week 12 status, and at the very least, he should be considered doubtful. If Ford is forced to miss time as his coach suggests, his absence could afford Solomon Thomas and Damontre Moore more snaps on the defensive line.

Analysis: Ford has now recorded 5.5 sacks across eight games. The veteran defensive end hasn't played more than 50 percent of snaps on defense since Week 1, but he's making the most of his rotational role. Ford is a risky play in IDP formats, though he possesses clear upside.

Analysis: The 49ers didn't actually practice given gameday was Sunday, but the fact he was estimated to practice in some fashion indicates he's on track to play Thursday.

He's still held to a pass-rushing role with no more than 25 defensive snaps since Week 1, but Ford has managed 4.5 sacks through six games regardless.

Notches second sack
Ford recorded a sack in Sunday's win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Ford was coming off a quadriceps injury, so he only played 30 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps in this contest. Nevertheless, he was effective by getting his second sack of the season. Ford will need to work in a larger role to be a consistent IDP asset, though. He has a good opportunity to continue the momentum in Week 4 versus the Browns, as Baker Mayfield has been sacked 11 times this year.

Good to go for Week 3
Ford (quadriceps) was officially ruled active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Ford was looking on the wrong side of questionable following Friday's practice session but, as evidenced by this news, is set to play. Now that he's officially playing, expect the veteran to slot into his normal role starting at one of the defensive end positions.

Officially questionable
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Ford (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "He's still not there yet. We'll see how these next 48 hours go," Shanahan said.
Analysis: Shanahan's statement doesn't portray optimism for Ford's status. If he's able to suit up, he'll have a solid chance to be an IDP asset since Mason Rudolph will be making his first NFL start. Keep an eye out for the final verdict on his health before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Day-to-day with injury
Ford (knee/quad) is being considered day-to-day, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Head coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Ford's injury is the same one he dealt with this summer, so he appears to have aggravated it in Sunday's win over the Bengals. Ford likely will have to at least put limited practice time in this week to have a shot at playing in Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

Injury nothing new
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the knee/quad injury that Ford is dealing with is the same one he struggled with over the summer, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Ford aggravated the injury during Sunday's game against the Bengals and he was forced to leave the contest because of it. Barrows also noted that the 28-year-old has been able to play through this injury -- or something similar -- in the past. Whether Ford practices this week, and to what capacity, will help paint a better picture with respect to his status for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

Dealing with injury
Ford suffered a knee injury in Sunday's game against the Bengals and is questionable to return, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Ford picked up the injury but it's serious enough to force him to miss action. The 49ers owned a three-touchdown lead at the time of his absence, so it's likely the team won't rush him back unless it's necessary, to avoid further injury. With Ford sidelined, Rookie Nick Bosa could be in line to see an increase in snaps.

Quiet in Niners debut
Ford recorded a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's season-opening win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Ford was present for 41 of 70 defensive plays (59 percent). The 2014 first-round pick is coming off an impressive 2018 campaign with Kansas City, logging 55 total tackles, 13 sacks and seven forced fumbles.

Practicing Monday
Ford (knee) returned to practice Monday, Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group reports.
Analysis: Ford has been dealing with lingering knee tendinitis all training camp, but it appears the veteran is nearing full strength. It seems unlikely that the 49ers would want him to suit up for Thursday's preseason finale, but look for a more official ruling to come later in the week.

Unlikely to play Saturday
Ford (knee) is considered doubtful for Saturday's preseason matchup with the Cowboys, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Ford has missed the last week of team activities due to knee tendinitis, so it's not surprising to hear that he is unlikely to suit up Saturday. Fellow edge rusher Nick Bosa (ankle) has already been ruled out for the entire preseason, but the team hopes both of its key defensive acquisitions will be ready for the regular season.

Out another week
Ford (knee) is expected to be out for another week, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Ford got a PRP injection to help with his lingering knee tendinitis, and he will have to remain on the sidelines for about another week as a result. The 49ers are not concerned that the issue is a long-term one, so Ford should be back to full health and practicing again shortly.

Ford (knee) sat out of Sunday's practice, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dealing with tendinitis
Ford sat out team drills Thursday due to knee tendonitis, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Ford clarified that he deals with the condition during every training camp. While a timetable for his return remains undisclosed, there doesn't currently seem to be reason for much concern. Ford signed a five-year, $87.5 million contract with the 49ers this offseason after having been traded by the Chiefs.

Earns massive salary with Niners
Ford has an agreement in place with the 49ers to sign a five-year, $87.5 million contract when the league year begins Wednesday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Chiefs traded Ford to the 49ers for a 2020 second-round pick, with the deal contingent on a long-term contract being figured out. That's in place now, as Ford will earn a whopping $17.5 million per year. He struggled with injuries during the 2017 season, but he recorded double-digit sacks in his last two healthy campaigns. Ford will immediately be the 49ers' top pass rusher.

Trade in place pending new contract
The Chiefs have a deal in place to trade Ford to the 49ers in exchange for a 2020 second-round pick, contingent upon a contract extension, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.
Analysis: The Chiefs placed the franchise tag on Ford, but Ford signaled he wanted a long-term deal. He'll have the opportunity to negotiate for that with the 49ers. Those talks are expected to work out, but if they fell through Ford would return to the Chiefs. He's seeking long-term security in a new deal, and he deserves it after posting a double-digit sack total in two of the last three seasons. Ford will be the top edge rusher on the 49ers roster, and he'll likely start opposite Solomon Thomas on the…read more

Handed franchise tag
The Chiefs officially extended the franchise tag to Ford on Monday, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.
Analysis: With less than 24 hours remaining before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, Ford's fate in the near term is known. He'll have until July 15 to sign the tag, while the Chiefs and his representation can negotiate a long-term contract in the meantime. Ford has tended to the occasional injury in his five-year career, but with two campaigns of double-digit sacks in the last three, he's earned the right for a substantial increase in salary.

Will receive franchise tag
Ford is expected to receive the franchise tag Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It's worth pointing out the Chiefs will still entertain trade offers for their star pass rusher, particularly with the switch to a 4-3 defense, but it seemed likely Ford was destined for the franchise tag after recording 13 sacks in 2018, the second time he's posted double-digit sacks in the last three years. The 2014 first-round pick would have been one of the premier pass rushers available on the open market, so it's possible the Chiefs could find a willing trade partner for the 27-year-old.

Wants to stay in KC
Ford can become a free agent this offseason but said he would love to stay in Kansas City, Lynn Worthy of the Kansas City Star.
Analysis: Ford's 2018 season may be best remembered for his crucial offsides penalty in the AFC Championship Game, but he did play a key role in helping the Chiefs get that far, bouncing back from an injury-marred 2017 campaign to pile up 55 tackles (42 solo), 13 sacks and seven forced fumbles in 16 regular-season games. The 2014 first-round pick is a reasonable candidate to receive the franchise tag if the two sides can't work out a long-term contract before the start of the new league year.

Returns to form in 2018
Ford racked up a career-high 13 sacks and 55 tackles (42 solo) during the 2018 season.
Analysis: It shouldn't come as a surprise that Ford's 1,025 defensive snaps also mark a career-best total. Ford flashed the talent that made him a 2014 first-round pick in 2015, but he was limited to just six games in 2017 due to a back injury. Still just 27 and slated to hit the open market, Ford should find plenty of teams knocking at the door if he doesn't sign a contract extension prior free agency opening.

Productive in loss
Ford notched seven tackles (three solo) and 0.5 sacks during Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Ford posted his highest single-game tackle total of the season during Sunday's primetime loss, and he now has a career-high 12 sacks across 15 games. The former 2014 first-round pick also has six forced fumbles on the year, and he's come on as one of the strongest playmakers in Kansas City's defense.

Analysis: Ford has a career -high 11.5 sacks through 14 games, as the Chiefs lead the NFL with 46 sacks. The 27-year-old also has 45 total tackles and six forced fumbles as Kansas City heads to Seattle for a Week 16 matchup.

Ford recorded six tackles (four solo) and one sack during Sunday's 26-14 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Ford played a key role in pressuring rookie quarterback Josh Rosen during the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over Arizona and logged his eighth sack of the season. The starting linebacker will look to contain the Rams' offense in Week 10.
