Placed on COVID list Ford (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Ford was one of four Broncos to land on the reserve/COVID 19 list Thursday, all of whom tested positive for the virus according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Though Ford could return in time for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, his status is now uncertain at best. Even so, his absence isn't likely to affect Denver's defense significantly as Ford has logged only 13 defensive snaps across 13 games on the campaign.

Placed on short-term IR Ford (knee) was placed on short-term injured reserve Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact Ford's move to short-term IR is a corresponding roster move as running back Mike Boone (quad) comes off IR and is activated on the 53-man roster. The 26-year-old cornerback suffered a knee injury in Week 5 and was already ruled out for the Broncos' Week 6 matchup against the Raiders. The majority of Ford's snaps have come on special teams, so his absence should not have much of an impact on Denver's defensive scheme.

Might not return Sunday Ford (knee) is questionable to return Sunday against the Steelers.
