Latest Update on Jerome Ford’s Injury
Update 10/23/23: According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Ford has been diagnosed with a “low grade, high ankle” sprain, which is expected to keep him out of action for 1 to 2 weeks.
Ford was tackled by Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II during a carry and left the field limping. He is currently being evaluated for an ankle injury and is questionable to return.

Ford left the locker room wearing a protective boot.
Prior to the injury, Ford had accumulated 74 rushing yards and a touchdown. This season, he has gained 270 yards on 67 carries, with an average of four yards per carry. Ford stepped into the lead running back role this season after Nick Chubb’s season-ending injury last month.
In Ford’s absence, Kareem Hunt will assume the majority of the workload for the remainder of today’s game. Hunt has recorded 72 rushing yards on 22 carries this season, averaging 3.3 yards per carry.
Fantasy Impact of Ford’s Injury
Before his injury, Ford was having a fantastic fantasy day with a total of 94 yards and a touchdown against the Colts. Since Nick Chubb’s injury in Week 2, Ford has been the team’s leading rusher in every game.
If Ford is expected to miss future games, Kareem Hunt will immediately see an increase in fantasy value as a consideration for RB2, with Pierre Strong Jr. also likely to receive additional opportunities in the Browns’ backfield.
