The Chicago Bears had Caleb Williams and D'Andre Swift on the sidelines during practice. Both are battling injuries as the season begins.
However, on Friday, the Bears got a refreshing update regarding Swift's status, per Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune.
Head coach Ben Johnson said that Swift was “still feeling the effects of a Monday night football game,” but is expected to practice on Friday before the Bears play the New York Jets on Sunday.
On Monday, Swift came away with a knee injury against his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles. Overall, Swift carried the ball 20 times for 84 yards. Ultimately, the Bears won 27-7 to go 2-1 on the year.
So far, Swift has 253 rushing yards on 54 carries and 3 touchdowns. Recently, Swift signed a $33.75 million contract extension with Chicago before Week 1.

Swift had previously played for the Eagles and Detroit Lions. The Lions drafted him in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Georgia. After three years in Detroit, Swift joined the Eagles in 2023. There, he earned his first career Pro Bowl selection.
In 2024, Swift was then traded to Chicago.
