The Packers announced on Wednesday that they are releasing DL Jonathan Ford after activating him from injured reserve yesterday.
The team is also re-signing LS Matt Orzech after releasing him yesterday. Ford will most likely end up on the Packers’ practice squad after clearing waivers.
Ford, 26, wound up signing a four-year rookie contract worth $3.8 million with the Packers after being selected in the seventh round of the 2022 draft.
Unfortunately, he was part of the initial 53-man roster cuts and was waived by the team. Green Bay later brought him back to their practice squad.
Ford was active for all 17 games as a rookie but did not play in any games.
Throughout his five-year career at Miami, Ford appeared in 31 games for the Hurricanes and tallied 60 total tackles, including eight tackles for loss, three sacks and a pass defended.
He has yet to appear in an NFL game.
