Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming Sunday game due to an injury. This situation arises as the team prepares for their matchup, raising concerns about their ability to play effectively without him.
Injury Updates on Bears Players
Swift’s status remains uncertain as the Bears continue to monitor his condition. He participated in practice but did not receive a clear designation on the injury report. If Swift cannot take the field, third-year running back Roschon Johnson may become a significant asset for the team.
Roschon Johnson’s Readiness
Johnson returned to practice this week after recovering from a back injury. He was a full participant on Friday and is ready to step in if needed. “I’m always ready; same approach, same mindset,” Johnson commented, underscoring his preparedness for any situation.
Bears Players Ruled Out
In preparation for their match, the Bears will also be missing key players due to injuries:
- Linebacker T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring)
- Defensive End Dominique Robinson (ankle)
- Defensive Back Josh Blackwell (concussion)
- Receiver Jahdae Walker (concussion)
Coach Ben Johnson confirmed that Edwards underwent hand surgery. Fortunately, he is not expected to be placed on injured reserve.
Other Injury Notes
Tight end Durham Smythe has returned to practice on a limited basis and is also questionable for the game. Other players who fully participated in practice without injury designations include:
- Receiver Rome Odunze (ankle/heel)
- Receiver DJ Moore (hip/groin)
- Receiver Luther Burden III (concussion)
- Tight End Cole Kmet (concussion)

As game day approaches, the Bears will carefully assess Swift’s injury and make strategic decisions to bolster their chances of success against their opponents.
