The Cardinals signed Ford to the practice squad Wednesday. Ford was cut from the Vikings' practice squad on Sept. 29. The 27-year-old appeared in 57 regular-season games for the Browns since being drafted in 2022, amassing 340 carries for 1,463 yards and seven touchdowns while catching 107 passes for 647 yards and five scores. Ford could be added to the active roster at some point, though that still wouldn't necessarily mean he will get on the field

The Minnesota Vikings have placed running back Jordan Mason on injured reserve, head coach Kevin O'Connell announced on Wednesday. O'Connell added that the veteran has a small fracture in his thumb and had already undergone a procedure to fix the injury. Mason's absence is not expected to be long-term, per O'Connell, but the injured reserve parameters will keep him out for at least the next four games. The 27-year-old will be required to miss Minnesota's Week 2 matchup at the Chicago Bears , Week 3 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , Week 4 at home against the Dolphins , and Week 5 on the road game against the Saints . Because the Vikings have a bye in Week 6, Mason can return to the field as early as Week 7, when Minnesota hosts the Indianapolis Colts . In the Week 1 win over Green Bay, Mason rushed for 59 yards on 15 carries (both team highs) and scored a rushing touchdown. Mason is in his second season with the Vikings after the team acquired him in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers in March 2025. In a complementary role last year, the former undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech saw a career-high 159 carries and rushed for 758 yards and six touchdowns. Mason was expected to take on a bigger workload in 2026 (as evident in his team-high 15 carries in Week 1), but the lion's share of touches will now go to veteran Aaron Jones Sr. As we noted above, Aaron Jones Sr. will now be the key cog in Minnesota's rushing attack. He worked alongside Mason in the Week 1 opener, rushing 12 times for 40 yards and a touchdown. While Jones, 31, is no spring chicken, he has shown the ability to produce at a high level over his career. In 12 games played last season, he averaged 4.2 yards per carry, posting 548 yards on the ground and two rushing touchdowns. He's also been a factor in the passing game. In addition to Jones, the Vikings signed DeeJay Dallas to the 53-man roster and added Jerome Ford to the practice squad. Dallas initially signed with the Vikings' practice squad on Sept. 2. The 2020 fourth-rounder has spent time with Seattle, Arizona, Carolina and Jacksonville over the course of his career. "He's a very, very smart player," O'Connell said of Dallas . "The physicality that he plays with on [special] teams shows up in pass pro, and he's got some good instincts, and vision, and tools as a runner. To have him available to us here has been big, and obviously with Jordan's situation, he'll probably see an even more increased role." As for Ford, the former fifth-round pick of the Browns spent the summer with the Washington Commanders but was released in mid-August. In 13 games for Cleveland last season, Ford had just 24 carries for 73 yards and caught 26 passes for 103 yards
Ford was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Lindsey Young of the team's official website reports. Ford was in Minnesota for a workout Tuesday with the team, and he will now have the opportunity join the practice squad. The running back was let go by the Commanders with an injury settlement in late August after suffering a hamstring injury, but he is now back to full health. Ford recorded 73 yards on 24 carries while catching 26 of 32 targets for 103 yards over 13 regular-season contests with Cleveland in 2025, and he'll now look to earn an elevation to the active roster down the road with the Vikings
The Vikings hosted Ford (hamstring) for a workout Tuesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. Ford suffered a hamstring injury during training camp with the Commanders. He's healthy enough to participate in a workout, and he could latch on with the Vikings if Jordan Mason misses time due to a thumb injury he sustained against the Packers in Week 1. Ford, a fifth-round selection of the Browns in the 2022 NFL Draft, spent the first four years of his career with Cleveland, and he logged 24 carries for 73 yards (3.0 YPC) while adding 26 catches (on 32 targets) for 103 yards across 13 regular-season games in 2025
