D'Andre Swift Officially Ruled Out For Week 13
3 years agoDetroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for the Week 13 game against the Minnesota Vikings due to his shoulder injury. Swift suffered a sprained shoulder in last week's Thanksgiving loss to the Chicago Bears and could also be in danger of sitting out in Week 14. He's been the team's best offensive weapon, mainly in the passing game, so the winless Lions will now be without their best player for at least this weekend. In his place, Jamaal Williams should see the majority of the backfield work, with rookie Jermar Jefferson and Godwin Igwebuike being sprinkled in. With the increased workload against a Vikings defense that is allowing the third-most rushing yards per game (134.4) this year, Williams has RB2 upside this Sunday and if Swift misses next week as well.
