D'Andre Swift Practices in Full, Set for Central Role in Bears Offense

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, indicating he is healthy and ready for Week 11. Swift, who signed a three-year, $24 million contract with the Bears, is expected to be the centerpiece of their running game. He previously eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in his career with Philadelphia in 2023. The Bears' offense now boasts strong personnel across all positions, and Swift's versatility positions him for a potential three-down role, as the team's backfield lacks other players with his unique skill set compared to Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson. While his volume capacity has been questioned historically, Swift is poised for a significant workload in 2024.
