Swift (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Swift played through the same groin injury and remained productive the past few weeks, but he's now set to miss at least one game after not practicing at all during Week 9 prep. Bears coach Ben Johnson discussed Swift's nagging groin injury earlier Friday, telling reporters that the Bears are "just doing our due diligence" and "want to make sure we have [Swift] in a good spot for the whole season," per Adam Jahns of AllCHGO.com. In any case, Kyle Monangai will be Chicago's lead back Sunday, likely taking on a large workload against one of the worst defenses in the league.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Sits out another practice
Rotowire
Swift (groin) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.
For the third week in a row, Swift is on the Bears' injury report with a groin issue. He's proceeded to play through the issue in both of the team's last two games, but Swift's availability for this Sunday's game in Cincinnati may be in more peril now that he's failed to practice in any fashion Wednesday and Thursday. What Swift is able to do in Friday's session will go a long way in determining his status heading into the weekend.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Swift (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.
Swift was among a number of Bears skill-position players that weren't able to practice to kick off Week 9 prep, the others being WRs Rome Odunze (heel), DJ Moore (hip/groin), Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) and Luther Burden (concussion). Swift has been dealing with a groin injury for three weeks running and followed a DNP/LP/LP practice regimen last week before suiting up this past Sunday at Baltimore, a contest in which he handled a 49 percent snap share and turned 13 touches into 71 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. Wednesday's absence may merely be for maintenance purposes, but his status still will be watched as the week continues to get a sense of his odds to continue leading the Bears backfield Sunday at Cincinnati.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Gets into end zone in Week 8 loss
Rotowire
Swift carried the ball 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens.
The 26-year-old running back accounted for Chicago's only TD of the day on a two-yard run early in the fourth quarter that briefly brought the team within a field goal at 16-13. Swift has a four-game touchdown streak going, scoring three on the ground and one through the air, and over that stretch he's averaged 111 scrimmage yards a contest. Swift could be headed for another big performance in Week 9 against a vulnerable Bengals defense that just got gashed by Breece Hall for 133 rushing yards and two TDs, plus a four-yard touchdown toss on a trick play.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Active in Week 8
Rotowire
Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday at Baltimore.
For a second week in a row, Swift operated with a cap on his practice reps due to a groin injury and entered the weekend listed as questionable. On Saturday evening, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Swift was expected to play Sunday, which has come to pass. Swift is coming off back-to-back 100-yard rushing performances in which he combined for 36 touches for 313 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs. Considering the Ravens have given up the seventh-most YPC (4.7) to opposing running backs this season, he has a prime opportunity to keep up his recent hot streak Week 8.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: In line to play Sunday
Rotowire
Swift (groin), who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Baltimore, is likely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Swift missed one practice and was limited in two others during the week, but the lack of a full session isn't expected to prevent him from playing Sunday. He logged the same practice regimen last week, when he ultimately suited up and handled 20 touches for 138 yards in a win over New Orleans. Swift now appears set to suit up again this weekend against a Ravens squad that has given up the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore.
Swift followed the same practice pattern as last week, logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday after resting at the beginning of the week. He's listed as questionable, again, but it'll be surprising if he doesn't suit up, having played through the same injury last week en route to a 19-124-1 rushing line in the 26-14 win over New Orleans.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Swift (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.
Swift also tended to a groin injury last week, when he was limited in practice Thursday and Friday, entered the weekend as questionable and then was active this past Sunday against the Saints. He ended up reeling off 138 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 20 touches on a 53 percent snap share, so Wednesday's absence may be related to maintenance. Still, Swift's status is one to monitor as the week goes on to ensure he'll be out there again Sunday at Baltimore.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Impressively efficient in Week 7
Rotowire
Swift rushed 19 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Swift's long run on the day went for a relatively modest 23 yards, underscoring the fact he was able to consistently grind out productive gains throughout the afternoon. The veteran back both eclipsed the 100-yard mark and set a new season high in rushing yards for the second time in six days and went in for his third rushing TD of the season on an 11-yard run with just over nine minutes remaining in the first half. Swift is unsurprisingly proving to be a key cog in head coach Ben Johnson's innovative offense, and he'll take aim at the Ravens' suspect run defense on the road in a Week 8 matchup next Sunday afternoon.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Active Sunday, as expected
Rotowire
Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints.
Swift has tended to three separate lower-body injuries so far this season, including a groin issue that limited him in the final two practices of the week. The Bears proceeded to tag their No. 1 RB as questionable for Week 7 action, but he told Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com on Friday that he intended to play Sunday, and his comment was corroborated via a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN on Saturday evening. Now that Chicago has confirmed as much, Swift should be good to handle his typical workload of 17 touches per game, which he's turned into 447 yards from scrimmage and three total TDs through five contests.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: On track to play Sunday
Rotowire
Swift (groin), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Swift wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday. The starting running back is recovering from a groin injury sustained during Chicago's win over the Commanders on Monday, a narrow 25-24 victory in which he compiled a season-high 175 yards from scrimmage plus a receiving touchdown. Swift previously suited up despite initially being listed as questionable for Week 3 (quadriceps) and Week 4 (hip) and didn't see his workload decline in either contest, so fantasy managers can expect typical volume from him as long as the Bears make him active ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Swift was a star in Week 6 at Washington with 25.5 PPR points, and he has now scored at least 16 PPR points in consecutive games heading into Week 7 against New Orleans. Last week against New England was the first time a running back failed to score at least 14.4 PPR points against the Saints, but I'm counting on Swift to hit that threshold, if not do better. He's averaging three catches per game this season, and he's had at least 45 receiving yards in two of his past three outings. He's a solid No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Swift had his best Fantasy outing of the season in Week 4 at Las Vegas with 16 PPR points, and I hope he stays hot coming off Chicago's bye in Week 5. I love that Swift has 10 targets in his past two games, and he has at least three receptions in every game this year. Washington has been tough to run on this season, but the Commanders have allowed a running back to score at least 13.0 PPR points in three of the past four games. And, in Week 8 last season, Swift had 18 carries for 129 yards and a touchdown against Washington, so hopefully he can repeat that type of performance in the rematch. I like Swift as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Finds end zone Sunday
Rotowire
Swift took 14 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-24 win over Las Vegas.
Swift was limited during the practice week with a hip injury that had him listed as questionable leading up to Sunday's kickoff. The veteran RB suited up and rewarded fantasy managers with his second trip to the end zone in four games this season. The Bears placed no restrictions on Swift, handing him 14 of its 18 running back carries in the win. He has been generating just enough value on a weekly basis to warrant flex consideration in most formats, but he won't be available in Week 5 with the Bears on a bye, making Week 6 the next time Swift will be in action.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Playing in Week 4
Rotowire
Swift (hip) is active for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.
A limited practice participant during Week 3 prep due to a quadriceps injury and in advance of Week 4 action due to a hip issue, Swift remains ready to pace the Bears backfield Sunday. Through three contests this season, his snap share has ranged from 57 to 81 percent, but his workload has remained steady, as he's averaged 17 touches for 70.7 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one TD on the ground.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Swift (hip) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Swift maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he deals with a hip injury, leaving him just one more opportunity to prove his health ahead of the weekend. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. Through three weeks this season, Swift is averaging 17 touches for 70.7 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one touchdown.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Salvages day with long catch
Rotowire
Swift recorded 13 carries for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Cowboys. He added three receptions on four targets for 45 yards.
Swift was one of only a few poor performers for Chicago on Sunday. He was unable to find much running room throughout the game and was held below 50 rushing yards for the first time this season. Instead, Swift made his impact as a receiver, picking up 41 yards after a short dump-off midway through the second quarter. Swift remains the clear leader of the Bears' backfield, as he out-touched Kyle Monangai 16-7 and has found the end zone in each of the last two contests.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Active as expected Sunday
Rotowire
Swift (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Earlier reports indicated Swift would be playing through his quadriceps issue, and that is now official. The veteran back should fill his usual lead-back role and will aim to capitalize on a Cowboys defense that's allowed 121.0 rushing yards per game through the first two contests of the season.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Slated to play Sunday
Rotowire
Swift (quadriceps) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Swift handled 35 combined touches through the first two games of the season and then was limited in each practice of Week 3 prep due to the quad injury. Now that he's in line to suit up Sunday, he'll take on his typical role as the Bears' No. 1 back, assuming he's confirmed to be active about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Limited in practice again
Rotowire
Swift (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Swift appaers to have picked up a quad injury during Chicago's loss to the Lions in Week 2, and he's since put together back-to-back limited practice sessions. If he's unable to upgrade to full reps Friday, it sounds as though Swift will carry a "questionable" designation into Sunday's home game against the Cowboys. Through two appearances this season, Swift has compiled 116 rushing yards on 29 carries (4.0 YPC) and one touchdown while also securing six of eight targets for 18 yards and losing one fumble.
