D'Andre Swift returned to practice Monday for the first time in almost two weeks and will remain a limited participant on Tuesday.
Swift suffered a soft-tissue injury during practice Aug. 20 and has been on the field sparingly since.
Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia mentioned Swift among a handful of players that "won't really be doing much" in his pre-practice video conference, along with wide receiver Danny Amendola, tight end Hunter Bryant, safety Jayron Kearse and cornerback Darryl Roberts.
