The Bengals signed Ford to a two-year contract Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Ford spent the first four seasons of his career with the Bills before signing a one-year deal with Cincinnati last offseason. The 28-year-old appeared in 16 games with nine starts last year. Ford will likely compete for a starting job at guard heading into the 2025 campaign, as Orlando Brown and 2024 first-round pick Amarius Mims should start at the offensive tackle spots.

Rotowire
Ford is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans due to an illness, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Ford hadn't been included on the Bengals' Week 15 injury report until he was added Saturday and listed as questionable after coming down with the illness. With Ford unable to show enough improvement overnight to play Sunday, the Bengals will be down both starters on the left side of the offensive line, as tackle Orlando Brown (leg) will miss a second straight game. Devin Cochran, Andrew Stueber and Andrew Coker are the candidates to take over at left tackle, while Cordell Volson will likely fill in at left guard.
