If the Green Bay Packers are going to make the NFL playoffs on Sunday, they’ll have to do it without safety Rudy Ford. And if the Packers reach the postseason, they won’t have Ford in the playoffs either.
Green Bay placed Ford on injured reserve on Saturday, which requires at least a four-game stay on the sidelines.
A hamstring injury prevented Ford from practicing this week as the Packers prepared to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
If Green Bay beats the Bears, it will have a wild-card spot in the NFC playoffs.
