The Green Bay Packers have added defensive lineman Jonathan Ford to their practice squad. This move was announced by General Manager Brian Gutekunst on Friday.
Ford, standing at 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 338 pounds, was originally drafted by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, holding the 234th overall pick. His college career took place at the University of Miami (Fla.), where he played for five seasons from 2017 to 2021. During his time with the Hurricanes, Ford appeared in 50 games, starting in 30 of them. He recorded a total of 60 tackles, including 21 solo tackles, eight tackles for loss, three sacks, one pass defensed, and one forced fumble.
Since being drafted by Green Bay, Ford has spent time on both the active roster and practice squad. Earlier this year, he was placed on injured reserve/designated for return but was activated on October 21.
