Swift (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday at Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Swift (groin), who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Baltimore, is likely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swift logged a DNP/LP/LP practice progression during the week and was deemed questionable on Friday's final injury report. That was the same pattern as he recorded last week, when he ultimately suited up and handled 20 touches for 138 yards against New Orleans. Swift now appears set to suit up again in Week 8 against a Ravens squad that has given up the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season.

Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Swift (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

A spectator for the Bears' first Week 8 practice session Wednesday, Swift was able to return to the field Thursday, albeit with a cap on his reps. Swift is coming off his two best performances of the season; he amassed 175 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown in a Week 6 win over the Commanders and 138 yards and another score in a Week 7 win over the Saints. Assuming he's able to make enough progress in his recovery from the groin issue to play this Sunday, Swift will be in line for a favorable matchup against a beat-up Baltimore defense that has given up 109.7 rushing yards per game versus running backs through six contests.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Swift (groin), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swift wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he was limited in practice Thursday and Friday. The starting running back is recovering from a groin injury sustained during Chicago's win over the Commanders in Week 6, 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 Week 3 (quad) and Week 4 (hip) and didn't see his workload decline in either contest, so fantasy managers can expect typical volume as long as he's officially listed as active when the Bears' inactives list is released roughly 90 minutes ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
