MIKE FORD JR. NEWS

Moves to active roster Ford was signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Ford's move to the active roster comes after the team placed multiple players on injured reserve Tuesday and also has fellow cornerback, Martin Emerson, tending to an ankle injury. The 29-year-old played in 16 games for Cleveland last season, before joining the Texans as a free agent in the spring. However, Ford was ultimately released by Houston in late August, paving the way for his return to the Browns.
