Bears Running Back D’Andre Swift (groin) Absent from Practice
The Chicago Bears' top running back, D'Andre Swift, was absent from practice on Wednesday due to a groin injury. However, his head coach remains optimistic that he will be ready for Week 12.
In the team's recent 20-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers, Swift managed to rush for 71 yards and score a touchdown. However, he was only able to participate in 57% of the offensive snaps.
Coach Matt Eberflus hopes that Swift will be able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings (8-2).

In 2023, Swift was selected for his first Pro Bowl while playing for the Philadelphia Eagles. He had an impressive season, rushing for 1,049 yards and scoring five touchdowns.
