What happened to D'Andre Swift? Will he play vs Jets? Major injury setback for Bears ahead of Week 4

Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift was added to the team’s injury report Thursday with a reported knee injury, creating uncertainty around his status ahead of the Week 4 matchup with the New York Jets.

Swift misses practice

The Bears said Swift did not take part in Thursday’s practice, even though the session was not scheduled as a rest day. The team did not clearly explain how the knee issue occurred or provide further details about the injury.

Swift’s absence places attention on his availability as Chicago prepares for its upcoming game. At this stage, the Bears have not confirmed whether he will play against the Jets.

More information expected Friday

Head coach Ben Johnson is expected to address the situation when he speaks with reporters Friday. His comments could provide additional information about the nature of Swift’s injury and the team’s expectations for the running back.

Until then, Swift’s practice status remains the key development for the Bears. The Thursday update represents the team’s first reported indication of a knee problem, but no official timetable or game designation has been provided.

What comes next

The Bears’ next update and Swift’s participation in practice will help clarify whether the injury threatens his availability for Week 4. For now, his status against the Jets remains unresolved.
