Chicago Bears fans received disappointing news regarding their running back D’Andre Swift. Due to a groin injury, Swift will not participate in the upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday.
Details on Swift’s Injury
Swift has been sidelined for practice from Wednesday to Friday, which marked a concerning trend for the team. He initially sustained the groin injury during a matchup with the Washington Commanders in Week 6. Although he played in subsequent games against the New Orleans Saints and the Baltimore Ravens, this week was the first time this season he logged three consecutive days as did not participate (DNP) in practice.
Impact on the Team
This will be Swift’s first missed game since joining the Bears in 2024. The absence of Swift is significant for Chicago’s offense, as he has been a key player this season. Rookie Kyle Monangai is set to step up as the lead rusher in Swift’s stead against Cincinnati.
Additional Player Status
- D’Andre Swift: Groin injury; out for the Bengals game.
- Kyle Monangai: Expected to take over as the lead rusher.
- Roschon Johnson: Also not playing due to a back injury.
The Bears will need to strategize effectively with the absence of both Swift and Johnson as they face the Bengals. It remains to be seen how this situation will impact their performance on the field.
