D'Andre Swift - Page 7 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Unlikely to face Dallas Swift (shoulder), officially listed as questionable, is unlikely to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Swift missed Detroit's two previous games before the team went into its bye. He practiced in limited fashion throughout the week leading up to a Week 7 matchup against Dallas, though the Lions appear to be inclined to take a cautious approach. Jamaal Williams will likely handle a heavy workload if Swift is ruled out, while Craig Reynolds would be the likely change-of-pace back.

Listed as questionable Swift (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas.

Impact Swift missed back-to-back games before a Week 6 bye and still hasn't returned to full practice participation, but he did manage limited sessions Wednesday through Friday, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Swift said Wednesday that he was "pushing towards" playing, and he could be back Week 8 (against Miami) if not this Sunday. Jamaal Williams and Craig Reynolds are Detroit's top RBs after Swift, and both could have roles off the bench even if the starter is ready to play.

Remains limited Thursday Swift (ankle/shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact On the heels of missing two games before the Lions' Week 6 bye, Swift now has managed back-to-back capped sessions, with one more chance to get back to full this week as he puts ankle and shoulder issues further behind him. Friday's injury report may include a 'Questionable' listing next to his name, but Swift told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday that he's "pushing towards" returning to action Sunday at Dallas. If he's able to do so, Swift may share backfield duties with Jamaal Williams off the bat, with Craig Reynolds and Justin Jackson in reserve.

Prescott set for return as Cowboys seek bounce back vs Lions

Officially limited Wednesday Swift (ankle/shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Prior to the Lions' Week 6 bye, Swift missed two games due to ankle and shoulder injuries. Thus, his return to practice Wednesday is a step in the right direction, and Swift himself told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press that he's "pushing towards" playing Sunday at Dallas. Swift's activity level Thursday and Friday will be worth monitoring to get a sense of if active status is possible this weekend. At the moment, Jamaal Williams, Craig Reynolds and Justin Jackson are Detroit's healthy members of the backfield.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to practice Head coach Dan Campbell said that Swift (shoulder) is expected to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Per Campbell, the running back -- who last suited up Week 3 -- is "a little bit better" following the Lions' Week 6 bye. Swift's status for Sunday's game against the Cowboys presumably hinges on how well his shoulder responds to the work he's expected to log at practice as the week progresses.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out until Week 7 Swift (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Swift hasn't practiced since injuring his shoulder Week 3, but there's a good chance he'll be ready after Detroit's early bye Week 6. First, Jamaal Williams will get another fill-in start for the Lions, with Craig Reynolds and Justin Jackson available off the bench.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Swift (shoulder/ankle) was a non-participant in practice Thursday.

Impact Swift's lack of practice activity came as no surprise after Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported earlier Thursday that the Lions are tentatively planning on having the running back sit out a second straight game Sunday at New England before returning to action following a Week 6 bye. Unless Swift takes a big step forward Friday in terms of practice activity, the Lions will likely formally rule him out for the game against the Patriots with the release of their final Week 5 injury report.

Not likely to play Week 5 Swift (shoulder/ankle) isn't expected to return to action for Sunday's game at New England, but the Lions anticipate he'll be ready to play following the team's Week 6 bye, Jeremy...

Impact Detroit hasn't officially ruled Swift out for Week 5, but his absence from practice Wednesday after missing last week's 48-45 loss to the Seahawks doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up against the Patriots. The Lions' upcoming bye week should provide Swift with sufficient time to recover from the sprained left shoulder he suffered in the Week 3 loss at Minnesota, as well as the lingering ankle issue that first surfaced Week 2. Barring an unforeseen development, the 23-year-old should be ready to reclaim his usual three-down role with no restrictions Week 7 at Dallas, but expect Jamaal Williams to lead the Detroit backfield for a second straight game in the matchup with New England.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not at practice Swift (shoulder) isn't practicing Wednesday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

Impact All five of Detroit's starting skill-position players were held out of practice, including three (Swift, Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark) who missed last Sunday's shootout loss to Seattle. With a bye coming up Week 6, it won't be surprising if the Lions err on the side of caution with Swift this Sunday in New England, especially after Jamaal Williams scored two more touchdowns in the Week 4 loss. That said, the Lions haven't ruled out any of the injured players from suiting up this weekend, including Swift.

NFL Week 4: Should you take the underdog Seahawks against a depeleted Lions' offense?

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • Fox Sports

Officially ruled out Swift (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact Swift didn't practice at all this week, and reports suggest he could be held out through the Lions' Week 6 bye. The team hasn't commented on expectations beyond the current week, in which Jamaal Williams will lead the team's backfield against a weak Seattle defense. Craig Reynolds figures to get some carries off the bench, with Justin Jackson potentially having a role as well, but Williams becomes a top-20 play at RB with Swift out of the picture versus such a vulnerable defense.

St. Brown out, Swift 'probably out' vs. Seahawks Detroit Lions leading receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Seahawks, head coach Dan Campbell said Frid...

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Not expected for Week 4 Coach Dan Campbell said Friday that Swift (shoulder) is "probably out" for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jeff Risdon of USA Today LionsWire reports.

Impact The Lions haven't yet given Swift an official injury designation for Week 4, but it sounds like Campbell considers the third-year pro 'doubtful' for Sunday's contest against Seattle. That would pave the way for Jamaal Williams and Craig Reynolds to lead Detroit's backfield while Swift works to potentially return Week 5 at New England. With Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) already ruled out against the Seahawks, the Lions' offense could be without arguably its top two playmakers.

Sitting for another practice Swift (shoulder/ankle) isn't practicing Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Swift's absence from practice for the second day in a row seemingly supports head coach Dan Campbell's assertion Wednesday that the running back isn't trending toward playing in Sunday's game against the Seahawks. The Lions will wait until Friday before providing a designation for Swift, but unless the third-year back is able to get back on the practice field in some capacity, Jamaal Williams and Craig Reynolds will likely head Detroit's Week 4 backfield. Swift, who is managing a sprained left shoulder in addition to an ankle issue, may also be a candidate to sit out through the Lions' Week 6 bye if he doesn't show any meaningful improvement by the time the Lions begin Week 5 prep next Wednesday.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not likely to play this week Swift (shoulder/ankle) won't practice Wednesday, and head coach Dan Campbell acknowledged he isn't optimistic about the running back's chances of playing this Sunday against the Se...

Impact Swift likely will miss out on one of his better matchups of the season, after an ankle injury limited his workload Week 2 and a shoulder sprain cost him some snaps in Week 3. Prior reports have suggested that he could rest for the next two games and come back after a Week 6 bye, but the Lions aren't quite ready to speculate on a timeline for Swift, with Campbell merely suggesting that he views the running back as unlikely to play this upcoming Sunday. If Swift does indeed miss the game, Jamaal Williams will draw the start and becomes an attractive fantasy option in most formats, even with Craig Reynolds potentially getting quite a few carries as well.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

May sit out until after Week 6 bye Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Swift (shoulder/ankle) possibly could benefit by taking the next two weeks off and returning to action following the team's Week 6 by...

Impact Swift exploded for 175 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches Week 1, but he picked up an ankle injury that has limited him in each of the past two games. He also suffered a shoulder sprain Week 3 that may be more serious than the ankle issue, so it sounds like the Lions are entertaining the idea of shutting the dynamic running back down for a period of time to see if they can get him healthy beyond the team's early bye.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

May miss time with shoulder sprain Swift suffered a shoulder sprain during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings and could miss time, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Swift's injury isn't expected to require surgery, so he's dodged a worst-case scenario, but his availability for Week 4 versus the Seahawks looks uncertain to say the least. The third-year pro entered Sunday's loss already managing an ankle injury. More clarity on Swift's recovery timetable should arrive as the Lions monitor him throughout the upcoming week, but if he does miss time it would significantly improve the fantasy outlook for Jamaal Williams, who scored twice at Minnesota.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers apparent shoulder injury Swift carried the ball seven times for 31 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings. He added three receptions on four targets for 18 yards.

Impact Swift entered the game nursing an ankle injury and reportedly received treatment on his left arm or shoulder after the game, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. That provides a likely explanation as to why Swift saw only 10 total touches as opposed to 22 for Jamal Williams. Now apparently dealing with multiple injuries, Swift's status will be worth monitoring throughout the week leading up to Detroit's Week 4 matchup against Seattle.

Set for Week 3 action Swift (ankle) is active for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Impact Swift sprained his ankle in the season opener but still earned at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps both Weeks 1 and 2 en route to a combined 25 touches for 262 yards from scrimmage and two TDs. The output has been fueled by an uber-efficient 10 yards per carry and 12.4 yards per catch, and he now will set his sights on the Vikings' 29th-ranked defense (412 yards allowed per game).

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play vs. Minnesota Swift (ankle) is listed as questionable, but he's expected to play Sunday against the Vikings, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Swift played through the same injury last week, handling 51 percent of the offensive snaps but only seven touches in a win over Washington. However, he made the most of his opportunities with 87 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. Coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday that Swift was much healthier than he'd been at the same time the previous week, so the running back seems likely to see an uptick in his workload against Minnesota after being used sparingly in Week 2.

Listed as questionable again Swift (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Swift played through the same injury last week, handling 51 percent of offensive snaps but only seven touches in a win over Washington. He made the most of his opportunities with 87 yards and a touchdown, and coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday that Swift was much healthier than he'd been at the same time the previous week. The running back thus seems likely to play Sunday, a notion supported by The Detroit News' Justin Rogers, who relays that each of the four Lions listed as questionable should be able to play this Sunday.
