RB CHI (5)
Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints.
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.

RB CHI (5)
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.

Swift (groin) is listed as questionable but told reporters Friday that he'll play against the Saints on Sunday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swift also clarified that he suffered the groin injury during Sunday's 25-24 win over Washington. He was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, but he said it was a matter of maintenance rather than not being capable of doing more. For what it's worth, Swift previously played through questionable tags Week 3 (quad) and Week 4 (hip), taking 34 total touches over the two-game stretch. He hasn't missed a game due to injury since Week 7 of 2022, back when he was with the Lions (and missed multiple games in each of his first three NFL seasons).

RB CHI (5)
Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints after a limited practice Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Bears added Swift to their injury report Thursday as a limited participant, with coach Ben Johnson telling reporters Friday that the running back's groin injury wasn't suffered during practice and isn't anything new. It thus sounds like Swift tweaked a preexisting injury, although this is the first time he's been listed with a groin issue in 2025 (he was listed with a quad injury for Week 3 and a hip injury for Week 4). Regardless of the specifics, Swift's fantasy managers should have a backup plan in case he's deemed inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Rookie Kyle Monangai has been Chicago's No. 2 RB all season, but Roschon Johnson also should have a role if Swift doesn't play, and Travis Homer (knee) may soon be activated from injured reserve.

RB CHI (5)
Bears coach Ben Johnson said Friday morning that Swift's groin injury isn't something new from practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds like Swift's addition to the injury report Thursday (as a limited participant) was a matter of maintenance rather than anything that might impact his Week 7 availability, but it's still worth keeping an eye on the situation unless he avoids a designation on the final injury report Friday afternoon.

OUTD'Andre Swift
RB CHI (5)
Swift was limited at Thursday's practice due to a groin injury.
EDGE Analysis
Swift broke out with 175 yards from scrimmage and a receiving TD on 16 touches during Monday's 25-24 win at Washington. He wasn't listed on Wednesday's estimated injury report, but a groin issue has emerged since then for the Bears' No. 1 running back. Swift thus may need to practice in full Friday in order to avoid entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.

OUTD'Andre Swift
RB CHI (5)
Swift rushed 14 times for 108 yards while catching two of three targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
Swift broke out in a big way on Monday Night Football when he posted his first 100-yard game of the season. The 26-year-old also scored his first receiving touchdown of 2025 when he converted a short reception into a 55-yard trip to the end zone. Swift had been providing fantasy managers with a solid floor over his first four appearances this year, but he looked recharged coming out of Chicago's bye week. Swift will attempt to carry the momentum from his best outing to date into Sunday's tilt against New Orleans.

Swift (hip) 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.
EDGE Analysis
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 starter 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 the 26-year-old, handing him 14 of its 18 running back carries in the win. Swift has been generating just enough value on a weekly basis to warrant flex consideration in most formats. Managers will have to find a fill-in for Swift in Week 5 with the Bears on a bye, making Oct. 13 the next time we see Chicago's starting RB in action.

Swift (hip) is active for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Swift (hip) is slated to play Sunday at Las Vegas, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swift has operated with a cap on his practice reps the last two weeks, first due to a quad injury during Week 3 prep and then a hip issue prior to Week 4 action. He was able to handle 61 percent of the snaps during last Sunday's win against the Cowboys on his way to 16 touches for 78 yards from scrimmage. Swift's status wil receive clarity once the Bears post their inactive list about 90 minutes before this Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
