Overview
- Green Bay put in the waiver claim on December 29, according to the NFL transaction wire.
- The move follows Week 17, when the Packers allowed 307 rushing yards to the Ravens and lost Jordon Riley for the season.
- Ford, a 2022 seventh-round Packers pick, never played a regular-season game for Green Bay but logged 12 games with the Bears over two seasons with 173 defensive snaps and 13 tackles.
- The Bears waived Ford on December 27, reportedly to open a roster spot for rookie guard Luke Newman’s return from injured reserve.
- The Packers did not need a corresponding move due to Kristian Welch’s placement on IR, and Ford must pass a physical to join the 53-man roster.
