49ers in Five: Dee Ford is ready to make big plays again

After missing last year with an injured back/neck, Dee Ford says he is ready to face the Lions in Week 1. As if Jared Goff needed any more problems.

Speaking with the media yesterday, Ford said he hasn’t really felt out of sync despite his long absence.

“I’ve never really felt out of rhythm coming back because I stayed here most of the offseason. I worked my hands every day. There was nothing I really needed to do to get back to being consistent.”

While Ford did acknowledge he’ll be on a pitch count, as he put it, that doesn’t lessen the impact he can have on the game.
