Analysis

Swift outpaced Roschon Johnson by eight carries and 48 yards while also finishing second in both receiving yards and targets for the Bears on the night. The veteran back was back in double digits in rush attempts after seeing a season-long streak snapped Week 16 against the Lions, and Swift's rushing yardage total was his second highest since Week 11. Swift will need 106 rushing yards against the Packers in a Week 18 road matchup to hit the 1,000-yard mark for the second straight season.

Analysis

Swift unsurprisingly struggled as a runner against Detroit's tough run defense, and game script also eventually turned against the ground attack. However, the veteran back was able to at least partly make up for it with a serviceable day through the air, generating his second-highest receiving yardage total since Week 5. Swift failed to log double-digit carries for the first time this season, but he should have a good opportunity to get back to that volume in a Week 17 home matchup against the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Analysis

Swift created a conundrum for fantasy managers when he was deemed questionable with a groin injury for one of the last two games of Week 15. The 25-year-old performed well on 20 touches given the negative game script, and the 19 carries ranked second for the tailback in 14 starts this season. Swift did fail to punch in a short touchdown early in the second half, forcing the Bears to settle for a field goal in the eventual loss. Now that he's healthy, the Georgia product will prepare to face the team (the Lions) that drafted him in 2020 on Sunday.

Analysis

Swift missed Thursday's walkthrough and Friday's practice due to a groin injury, but a limited session Saturday left the running back questionable for Week 15 action. While Swift will be able to suit up Monday, Roschon Johnson remains sidelined due to the concussion that he suffered Week 13, and Travis Homer and practice-squad call-up Darrynton Evans also are available to the Bears backfield. On the season, Swift is averaging 17.5 touches for 81.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring five rushing TDs in his 13 appearances.

Analysis

Swift managed to practice in limited fashion Saturday, an upgrade after failing to practice either of the past two days. That's effectively the same cadence the fifth-year back had last week before ultimately suiting up against the 49ers, where he tallied just 38 yards on 14 carries and barely factored in the passing game. Chicago's offense fell woefully behind in that contest almost immediately, but it's possible the Vikings will put their divisional rival in a similar game-script bind come Monday. Roschon Johnson (concussion) is already ruled out, so if Swift was ultimately unable to play then Travis Homer projects to see a heavy workload, with Darrynton Evans also factoring in.

Analysis

Although he's played through groin or quad injuries on numerous occasions this year, Swift appears in real danger of missing Monday's game at Minnesota now that the Bears have listed him as a non-participant on consecutive days. He'll have one last chance to practice Saturday before the team releases its final injury report, and the same goes for Roschon Johnson, who remains sidelined with a concussion and is perhaps even less likely than Swift to play in Monday's game. Travis Homer is the remaining RB on the active roster, with Darrynton Evans available ln the practice squad. Homer has largely been a special teams player and passing-down specialist in the NFL, which means Evans may be the lead back if both Swift and Johnson end up inactive Monday night.

Analysis

Swift dealt with a quadriceps injury last week but still suited up this past Sunday at San Francisco. He didn't find much success, though, turning 15 touches into 40 yards from scrimmage on a 79 percent snap share. He's now tending to a new health concern, while fellow RB Roschon Johnson (concussion), who was inactive Week 14, also sat out Thursday, and Travis Homer (head) was listed as full. As a result, the Bears backfield will be monitored closely to see who among the trio may be available Monday in Minnesota.

Analysis

Swift dealt with a quadriceps injury during the practice week before ultimately being cleared for action Sunday. The 25-year-old dominated the backfield touches, but his 15 combined touches resulted in just 40 total yards. Swift has averaged well under four yards per carry in five of his last six contests with only one trip to the end zone over that span. Things won't get any easier for the Bears' offense as they prepare for a road tilt against Minnesota next Monday.

Analysis

Swift mustered just one limited practice (Friday) during Week 14 prep, but a quad injury won't stop him from being available Sunday. There's a good chance he'll continue to lead the Bears backfield, especially with Roschon Johnson (concussion) sidelined, but Travis Homer and Darrynton Evans are on hand in the event Swift needs a breather at any point.
