And every day we’ll continue to check, the doctors and everything will continue to check and I talk with him. That’s where we are now with him and each day he has made progress. We’ll see, but he’s done a little bit more every day, and (we’ll) see how he is and where he’s at today, and then we’ll take it from there.” Via Pride of Detroit, the Lions’ coaching staff was careful not to say too much about whether or not Swift would play this week, with careful optimism. Detroit Lions: When will D’Andre Swift return to action? But availability continues to be an issue, even if his current injuries are a cut above the kind of minor injuries running backs coach Duce Staley challenged him to play through in the offseason. Swift is averaging 8.6 yards per carry (27 carries for 231 yards and a touchdown) and 9.6 yards pe catch (eight receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown) in three games this season. With a Week 6 bye in mind, resting him for Week 4 and Week 5 made perfect sense. Along with aggravating his ankle injury in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, he also suffered a sprained shoulder. Swift suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles, and played through it the next two games.
#Lions RB D’Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is listed as questionable and there is real doubt that he'll play today, source said.
