49ers expected to place DE Dee Ford on injured reserve

The San Franciso 49ers have been hit hard with injuries this season and while the rest of the NFL ha struggled, it’s hard to imagine a team that’s been hit harder than they have. And the latest update regarding Dee Ford certainly isn’t helping matters.

Ford has been sidelined since Week 1 after suffering a back injury in the days leading up to the team’s Week 2 game against the New York Jets. What was initially diagnosed as back spasms is evidently worse than the team initially believed.

And now, it seems like Ford is prepared to be out of action for at least the next three weeks.
