The Packers activated Ford (calf) to their active roster Monday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Ford had missed the Packers' first seven games this season on injured reserve after sustaining a calf injury in late August, but Monday's activation suggests the Miami product has moved past the issue. In a corresponding move, the Packers released long snapper Matthew Orzech.

Packers' Jonathan Ford: Practice window opens Wednesday
Rotowire
The Packers designated Ford (calf) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Ford began the regular season on IR due to a calf injury he sustained during the Packers' preseason finale in late August. He will now have a 21-day window to return to practice and, ultimately, be added to the active roster. If Ford is not added to the roster by the end of the window, he will revert to IR and stay on there for the rest of the season. Ford has yet to play in a regular-season game since being selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Ford (calf) was placed on IR on Tuesday with a designation to return.
Ford exited the Packers' final preseason game with the injury, which had him carted to the locker room. The 25-year-old will have a chance to return this season, once healthy, but he'll have to miss at least the first four games of the season.
