Ford was feared to have suffered a fractured rib during Friday's preseason game, but later calmed concerns by tweeting that's he's fine.

Ford might have suffered a fractured rib in Friday's preseason game, BJ Kissel of Chiefs.com reports. | ||||||
If Ford indeed fractured his rib, he figures to miss a significant chunk of time that could spill into the regular season. He should be evaluated further on Saturday, when a tangible diagnosis and timeline might be established. This is the former first-rounder's second preseason injury after a concussion earlier in camp, so it's unlikely he'll be pushed hard leading up to the season even if his rib checks out okay. | ||||||

While Ford didn't get the start with Tamba Hali playing Sunday, he did see his most extensive action of the season Sunday, playing 48 percent of the defensive snaps. The rookie finally showed a flash of the reason why the Chiefs chose him in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft, but still sits behind both Justin Houston and Tamba Hali at outside linebacker. | ||||||

Ford has been a major diappointment for the Chiefs this season, but could get a chance to show the team why they drafted him 23rd overall in the 2014 NFL Draft if Hali is unavailable. Ford has just three tackles and 0.5 sacks on the season. | ||||||
