Swift's workload could increase now that he is fully healthy, Nick Baumgardner and Chris Burke of The Athletic report. "I think you see the hot hand, right?" head coach Dan Campbell said. "[Swift] started getting the ball in his hands and started making some plays. I would imagine [the offensive coordinator] upstairs was saying, 'Let's keep getting him the ball.' And I was conscious of it as well."
EDGE Analysis
Fully past the groin injury that hampered him during the end of the preseason, Swift averaged 6.5 yards per touch in the first half of Sunday's game against Baltimore. Detroit made a concerted effort to get him the ball more coming out of the break and the end result was 15 more touches en route to 107 total yards and his second touchdown of the year. More importantly for Campbell, the strategy nearly helped the Lions pull off the upset over the heavily favored Ravens. While it's no question that Jamaal Williams is a capable sidekick, Detroit's offense has been at its best with Swift in the backfield and it seems as if the Lions coaching staff is taking notice.
