Lions RB D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, according to Tori Petry of the Detroit Lions.

It has been reported that if Swift plays, it will be in a limited role, so know that an active Swift is not going to be the same player who dominated the backfield one month ago.

Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift logged a limited practice session on Thursday.

Swift had been sidelined with a concussion but cleared the protocol last week, or at least the team asserts that he has. Swift has been practicing for the last three weeks but has not been cleared for game action, leading one to believe that he is still feeling the after effects of the injury. Swift should have a chance to play if he is able to log his third limited practice of the week, but a full session would go a long way into appeasing his fantasy managers concerns heading into the playoffs. He will likely be given the questionable tag heading into Week 14's contest against the Green Bay Packers.

The Lions expect running back D'Andre Swift to participate in practice Wednesday.

Swift cleared concussion protocol last week but was held out with an illness in Week 13. The illness has apparently subsided and Swift looks on track to play in Week 14 when the Lions take on the Packers and their weak run defense. Swift was on the verge of seizing control of the Detroit backfield before the concussion, so it will be interesting to see his usage when he returns.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, according to the team's official injury report.

It was reported earlier Friday that even if Swift plays, he will have a small package of plays on Sunday. Kerryon Johnson and Adrian Peterson appear to be the thunder and lightning dup for the Lions against the Bears.

Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell told reporters Friday that RB D'Andre Swift would not practice Friday due to a non-COVID related illness.

This is the second straight day that Swift is missing practice with this illness. He is out of concussion protocol according to Twentyman, so this may be the final hurdle to his return.
