Swift (shoulder) isn't practicing Wednesday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

All five of Detroit's starting skill-position players were held out of practice, including three (Swift, Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark) who missed last Sunday's shootout loss to Seattle. With a bye coming up Week 6, it won't be surprising if the Lions err on the side of caution with Swift this Sunday in New England, especially after Jamaal Williams scored two more touchdowns in the Week 4 loss. That said, the Lions haven't ruled out any of the injured players from suiting up this weekend, including Swift.
