On track to play this weekend Coach Matt Eberflus indicated Thursday that healthy starters (a group that would include Swift) are slated to play in Saturday's preseason contest against the Bills, Courtney Croni... Impact Swift was among the team's key players who didn't see action in last week's Hall of Fame Game, but the 25-year-old (who spent last season with Philadelphia) is poised to make his game debut in a Chicago uniform Saturday. In his lone campaign with the Eagles, Swift logged a team (and career) high 1,049 yards to go along with five TDs on 229 carries, while adding a career-low 39 catches (on 49 targets) for 214 yards and a receiving score in 16 regular-season contests. Per Kevin Fishbainof The Athletic, Swift has demonstrated his ability as a pass-catcher over the past few weeks in practice, and it's plausible that the 2020 second-rounder could see an uptick in catches this coming season, while leading a backfield that also includes Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer.
