Jonathan

Ford

The Packers are hurting in depth, so they’ll turn to Ford; a player that spent 2022-2024 with Green Bay before joining Chicago.

Swift was questionable for Saturday’s Week 16 contest against the Packers, but as expected, the tailback will get the nod for the crucial divisional matchup. The Bears inactives for the contest will be WR Rome Odunze WR Luther Burden, LB Amen Ogbongbemiga, LB Ruben Hyppolite, QB Case Keenum and DL Jonathan Ford.

Ford (6'5/315) started in eight games for the Hurricanes in 2021, and totaled 13 tackles and five quarterback pressures. His best season came in 2019, when he appeared on 469 snaps per Pro Football Focus, totaling 11 tackles, including 15 quarterback pressures and four sacks. He has not recorded a sack since that 2019 season.

Ford (6'5/275) had some academic concerns to shore up before he was allowed to enroll. He ended up missing 13 practices. With the three-star recruit now in camp, the Hurricanes have their complete freshman class at their disposal.
