The San Francisco 49ers will be without yet another key player Sunday against the New York Jets, as the team downgraded defensive end Dee Ford from questionable to out Saturday.
Ford was a non-participant at practice Thursday and Friday because of a neck injury, and he will not be available to the Niners for their Week 2 road clash with the Jets.
Tight end George Kittle was also ruled out for the game, while wide receiver Deebo Samuel and cornerback Richard Sherman will miss it as well after being placed on injured reserve.
