Overview
- Swift was a full participant on Wednesday but did not practice Thursday because of a knee issue, a midweek change that increases concern about his availability.
- He carried the ball 20 times for 84 yards in Monday’s game, so his absence would remove the offense’s primary rushing and receiving threat out of the backfield.
- If Swift is unavailable, the Bears are expected to turn to backup running back Kyle Monangai to handle the bulk of rushing work.
- Quarterback Caleb Williams remains out with a hamstring, slot corner Kyler Gordon practiced after his 21-day return window opened, and veterans Grady Jarrett and Joe Thuney received non-injury rest days.
- The team will issue an official Friday injury report and game-day designations that will determine Swift’s availability and influence play-calling and depth plans for Sunday’s game against the Jets.
