Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Swift (shoulder/ankle) possibly could benefit by taking the next two weeks off and returning to action following the team's Week 6 bye, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swift exploded for 175 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches Week 1, but he picked up an ankle injury that has limited him in each of the past two games. He also suffered a shoulder sprain Week 3 that may be more serious than the ankle issue, so it sounds like the Lions are entertaining the idea of shutting the dynamic running back down for a period of time to see if they can get him healthy beyond the team's early bye.
