Bears running back D’Andre Swift was out of most of the team’s practice time this week because of a groin injury, but said Saturday he’ll play Monday against the Vikings.
“I’m good,” Swift said after being limited in practice Saturday and missing the previous day.
The Bears go the game against the Vikings on Monday in the bottom third of the NFL in rushing after finishing in the top two each of the previous two seasons, and Swift is 18th with 742 yards and 24th with five touchdowns.
He leads the team with 1,057 yards from scrimmage for four of their nine longest gains, but hasn’t been nearly as effective overall as he was when he made the Pro Bowl for the Eagles last season to earn a three-year, $24 million deal with the Bears in free agency.
