Jaylan Ford - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes on IR, could return this season Ford (undisclosed) was placed on New Orleans' injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return.

Impact Ford had a strong preseason with 15 tackles and an interception over three games but appears to have picked up an injury along the way. He'll need to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season, but the designation to return means he could be activated as soon as Week 5 against Minnesota.

Collects eight tackles Sunday Ford (fibula) recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss against the Chargers.

Impact Ford was placed on New Orleans' injured reserve list prior to its final game of the 2024 season due to a broken fibula, but he was back in playing shape for the team's 2025 preseason opener. The 2024 fifth-rounder isn't a lock for a roster spot for the upcoming campaign, but having tied for the team lead in tackles in Sunday's preseason contest certainly won't hurt his case.

Placed on IR The Saints moved Ford (fibula) to injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Ford fractured his fibula Sunday against Las Vegas and is set to have surgery. The rookie linebacker played exclusively on special teams this season. The Saints signed tackle Josh Ball from the Cowboys' practice squad to their active roster Tuesday in a corresponding move.

Impact Ford was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game after suffering the injury on punt coverage. Per John Hendrix of SI.com, the Saints will conduct additional tests on Ford's leg to see if there's any further structural or ligament damage beyond the fracture before moving ahead with surgery. The rookie fifth-round pick played primarily on special teams during his first NFL regular season and finished with four tackles (two solo) across eight games.

Full go Wednesday Ford (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Ford missed each of the Saints' first two contests due to a hamstring injury, but following Wednesday's full practice, it appears he's moved past the issue. The 2024 fifth-round pick from Texas will now have the opportunity to make his NFL debut in Week 3, as the Saints host the Eagles.

Inactive for Week 2 Ford (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact Ford was a limited participant in all three practices this week, but he hasn't progressed through his hamstring injury enough to suit up for Sunday's contest. The rookie fifth-round pick has missed the first two games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury he sustained in training camp. Week 3 against the Eagles on Sept. 22 will be Ford's next opportunity to make his NFL debut.

Won't play Sunday Ford (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, ajdk reports.

Impact Ford missing New Orleans' Week 1 contest comes as no surprise, given that the 22-year-old linebacker missed the entire week of practice due to a hamstring issue. Expect Anfernee Orji to serve as the Saints' top rotational inside linebacker in Ford's stead.

Nursing hamstring injury Ford left Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact The rookie fifth-round pick sat out for most of the summer due to a knee injury he sustained in late 2023. Ford recovered from that injury and managed to play 13 snaps (nine on defense, four on special teams) and registered three tackles in Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals. This latest setback could keep Ford from suiting up against San Francisco on Sunday.
