Swift (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Swift (quadriceps) is expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 a quad injury. Now that he's in line to suit up Sunday, he'll take on his typical role as the Bears' No. 1 RB if he's confirmed to be active about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Swift (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Swift was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, never quite progressing to 'full'. More information may be available throughout the weekend, but fantasy managers should at least consider the possibility of a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Kyle Monangai was Chicago's No. 2 running back for the past two games, while Roschon Johnson missed Week 1 with a foot injury and then strictly played special teams in a Week 2 blowout loss.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Swift practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury.

EDGE Analysis

Swift has kicked off the 2025 season in his typical role as the Bears' No. 1 running back, turning 29 carries into 116 yards (4.0 YPC) and one touchdown and six catches (on eight targets) into 18 yards through two contests. Meanwhile, rookie seventh-round pick Kyle Monangai has combined for nine touches in that same span. With an injury now in tow, though, Swift's status will be one to watch as the week goes on to ensure he'll be out there Sunday against the Cowboys.

Swift rushed 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for six yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

EDGE Analysis

Swift was able to serve as a bright spot for the Bears' offense on a mostly forgettable afternoon, putting together an efficient performance on the ground that included a three-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. However, Swift also short-circuited what appeared to be a scoring drive when he lost a fumble at the Lions' 31-yard line late in the first quarter. Through two games, Swift remains the clear No. 1 back in Chicago's ground attack, and he'll have a favorable matchup at home against the Cowboys in a Week 3 showdown next Sunday.

Swift rushed 17 times for 53 yards and caught three of five targets for 12 yards in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Swift finished five yards shy of Caleb Williams' team-high rushing total and was the only Bears running back to record a carry, though rookie Kyle Monangai had one catch out of the backfield. While Swift seems locked into a high touch floor again due to a lack of competition, efficiency remains a concern, as he averaged a career-low 3.8 yards per carry last season and dipped to just 3.1 in Monday's small sample. Finding running room won't be easy Week 2 against the Lions, who held Swift to 59 yards on 20 carries (3.0 YPC) in two 2024 meetings.

Swift rushed seven times for 28 yards with one reception for six yards in Friday's 29-27 preseason win over the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Swift made his 2025 preseason debut Friday after sitting out an additional game against Buffalo last week. The 26-year-old moved the ball well on eight touches as he prepares to lead Chicago's backfield for the second consecutive campaign. Swift generated 1,345 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns in 17 starts last year, numbers he could easily reproduce with a clean bill of health in 2025.

Swift is in line to play with the rest of the Bears' starters during Sunday's preseason game against Buffalo, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swift did not play during last Sunday's 24-24 preseason tie versus the Dolphins, as the Bears opted not to play any of their starters during their opening exhibition. This group should get some run during this Sunday's preseason game No. 2, though it's unclear how long the first-team offense will stay on the field versus the Bills. Swift led the Bears' backfield during his first season with the team in 2024, and he should once again serve as RB1 in a room that also includes third-year back Roschon Johnson (foot) and seventh-round rookie Kyle Monangai.

Swift said Tuesday at mandatory minicamp that he's "being very critical about how I played last year" and is "excited about this year" under new head coach Ben Johnson, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The first season of Swift's three-year, $24 million deal with the Bears disappointed compared to expectations, as he finished with just 959 rushing yards and six touchdowns despite playing all 17 regular-season games and handling a career-high 253 carries. He averaged just 3.8 YPC in 2024 after having combined for 4.6 YPC across the first four years of his NFL career. As such, it was somewhat surprising to see Chicago fail to add notable backfield competition in free agency or the 2025 NFL Draft. Rookie seventh-round pick Kyle Monangai joins Roschon Johnson as a depth option, but Swift seems destined to reprise a starting role. With the benefit of a much-improved O-line and Johnson's promising offensive scheme, Swift will be in tremendous position to improve upon his 2024 stats if he sees a similar amount of opportunities. Johnson, who was Swift's offensive coordinator during his final season in Detroit in 2022, called the running back a "fierce competitor" and praised his willingness to "find a way to put his shoulder down and move the pile."
