The San Francisco 49ers downgraded edge rusher Dee Ford to “out” for Sunday’s Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets. Ford suffered neck stiffness and neck spasms this past week. Ford was limited during the 2019 season, and missing the second game already in 2020 is concerning. Ford played 46 snaps during Week 1 and finished with one tackle.
The 49ers promoted C Hroniss Grasu from the practice squad for the second-straight week. That move suggests Ben Garland is still not ready to return from a high-ankle sprain.
