D'Andre Swift Hasn't Practiced This Week
3 years agoDetroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) missed another practice on Thursday. Having not practiced yet this week, it's looking more and more likely that Swift will miss his second straight game with a shoulder sprain, although the Lions said that he has been improving. With Swift out last week in the Lions first win of the season over the Minnesota Vikings, Jamaal Williams saw 17 of the 24 backfield carries, going for 71 yards on the ground. Rookie Jermar Jefferson and Godwin Igwebuike will continue to mix in, but Williams would be the primary back for another week if Swift is active. Williams will be more of a low-end RB2 if he gets another start against a Denver Broncos defense that is allowing just over 100 rushing yards per game.
