As the Cleveland Browns<\/a> enter their second week of training camp, they got running back Jerome Ford back on the field.<\/p>\n

Ford, now a fourth-year running back, missed the first week with a hamstring injury. He remained limited<\/a> in his return to the practice field.<\/p>\n

This left the Browns short-handed at running back as they continue to work through the legal situation of second round pick Quinshon Judkins as well. This led to the team signing UFL running back Toa Taua<\/a> to fill out their running back room.<\/p>\n

With Ford out, it was fourth round pick Dylan Sampson who got the bulk of the first-team reps for the Browns. Overhauling the running back room, Sampson starts on a level playing field with the other backs in the room. Even with Ford returning to practice, the former SEC Offensive Player of the Year and Tennessee star, Sampson, has a chance to steal the opportunity in front of him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This could be Ford’s last chance to make an impact with the Browns after two lackluster seasons with the lion’s share of carries in his possession. Ford restructured his contract this offseason to take a pay cut with more guaranteed money upfront to retain his roster spot. It’s now or never for the former Cincinnati Bearcat.<\/p>\n
