Swift Cleared: Bears RB Ready for Jets Showdown
4 Oct
Summary
- D'Andre Swift is off the injury report for Week 4.
- Tyson Bagent will make his first start at quarterback.
- Swift has averaged 4.7 yards per carry this season.
D'Andre Swift, running back for the Chicago Bears, has been removed from the injury report and is anticipated to play in the upcoming Week 4 game against the New York Jets. This availability is a crucial positive for the Bears' offense, especially with starting quarterback Caleb Williams sidelined for a second consecutive week due to a hamstring issue.
Tyson Bagent is slated to make his debut as the starting quarterback for the 2026 season. Swift has demonstrated consistent performance over the past two seasons, including a strong showing in Week 3 with 20 carries for 84 yards. This season, he has accumulated 54 carries for 253 yards at an average of 4.7 yards per carry, along with three touchdowns.
Despite the potential involvement of Kyle Monangai in the backfield rotation, Swift is expected to receive the majority of carries. His availability is further solidified by his performance in Week 3, where he played 69.4 percent of snaps and recorded 22 total touches. With Bagent under center, the Bears may increase their reliance on the run game.
