Swift rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
EDGE Analysis
As his final rushing line indicates, Swift was absolutely stonewalled on the ground, and to make matters worse, he also lost a fumble in Steelers territory early in the second quarter. The turnover didn't lead to any Pittsburgh points, but backfield mate Kyle Monangai notably outpaced Swift in carries by four and also scored a rushing touchdown. Whether the developments signal a changing of the guard remains to be seen, but both backs have a tough matchup against Swift's former Eagles squad on the road on Black Friday.

Swift (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Swift has been a regular on Bears injury reports dating back to Week 7, but he appears to be getting gradually healthier. After sitting out a Nov. 2 win over the Bengals and then having his reps managed more carefully prior to returning to the lineup for a Week 10 win over the Giants, Swift has now upgraded to full participation by the Bears' second practice for the second straight week. Swift looks to be good to go for Sunday's game against the Steelers, and he could be in line for a larger workload after he handily outperformed rookie Kyle Monangai out of the backfield in both of the past two games. Between those contests, Swift averaged 5.0 yards on 34 totes, while Monangai was limited to an average of 2.7 yards per carry on 19 rushing attempts.

Swift (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Swift had a cap on his practice reps last Wednesday due to a hip injury before progressing to a full session one day later, so he again may be easing into this week of prep. He proceeded to pace the Bears backfield this past Sunday at Minnesota, earning a 57 percent snap share and turning 21 carries into 90 yards. Thursday's practice report will reveal whether or not he handled all on-field work.

Swift rushed 21 times for 90 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
For the second consecutive week since returning from a groin injury, Swift worked as the top option in Chicago's backfield but was kept out of the end zone while backup Kyle Monangai scored a rushing touchdown. Swift has rushed for at least 80 yards in four of his last five appearances heading into a Week 12 home game against the Steelers, so he remains a reliable source of yardage despite Monangai's involvement by the goal line.

Swift (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Swift was limited in practice Wednesday, but it's possible that the Bears were simply capping his reps as a precaution. The starting running back returned from a one-game absence due to a groin issue and racked up 98 yards from scrimmage on eight touches versus the Giants in Week 10. Even with the emergence of Kyle Monangai as a reliable backfield option, Swift remains Chicago's clear No. 1 running back and stands to handle a sizeable workload on the road against Minnesota on Sunday.

Swift was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury.
EDGE Analysis
Swift previously was dealing with a groin issue that caused him to sit out Week 9 at Cincinnati, but he was able to return this past Sunday and reclaim the No. 1 RB role against the Giants en route to 18 touches for 98 yards from scrimmage, while rookie Kyle Monangai turned seven carries into 28 yards and one TD. With a new health concern in tow for Swift, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on as the Bears prepare for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Swift (groin/personal) rushed 13 times for 80 yards and caught five of eight targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Swift returned from a one-game absence due to a groin injury and out-touched Kyle Monangai 18-7, retaining the lead role in Chicago's backfield. Monangai scored an eight-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, but Swift produced a few highlights of his own on the ground, including a 25-yard scamper and a nine-yard run on fourth-and-2 on the same second-quarter drive. Swift also finished second on the team in targets, so he's well-positioned to maintain a heavy workload regardless of game flow in Week 11 against the Vikings.

Swift (groin/personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
After he was sidelined for the first time all season in the Bears' Week 9 win over the Bengals, Swift returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant. He appeared to clear up any lingering concern about the health of his groin by practicing fully Thursday, but he ended up taking a questionable tag into Sunday after a personal matter kept him off the field for the Bears' final session of the week Friday. Though Swift is now ready to play ahead of Sunday's contest and isn't expected to be operating with any restrictions in his return to the lineup, he could be at risk of ceding more work to No. 2 back Kyle Monangai, who broke out with 198 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 29 touches in the victory over the Bengals. Head coach Ben Johnson suggested Friday that he would likely take a hot-hand approach to the backfield between Swift and Monangai during Sunday's contest, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.

Swift (groin/personal) is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swift missed last Sunday's win over the Bengals, allowing rookie Kyle Monangai to have a breakout performance en route to 198 total yards on 29 touches. Monangai's big game prompted coach Ben Johnson to say Friday that he may take a "hot hand" approach with Swift and Monangai moving forward, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. It's a plus spot for the backfield duo against a Giants defense that struggles against the run, but Monangai's potential to handle more carries makes Swift a riskier fantasy bet, especially if he's playing at less than 100 percent.

Swift (groin/personal) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Swift returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant before upgrading to full participation Thursday. He then missed practice Friday, with 'personal' added to the injury report (he was previously just listed with the same groin injury that held him out last week). Bears coach Ben Johnson sounded like he expected Swift to play this week, telling reporters earlier Friday that he planned to rely on the "hot hand" between Swift and Kyle Monangai. Johnson didn't say anything about Swift missing practice or potentially missing the upcoming game.
