Lions' D'Andre Swift inactive for Falcons, misses fourth straight game

Atlanta — Due to a lingering shoulder injury, the Detroit Lions will be without running back D'Andre Swift for a fourth consecutive game after the team made him inactive for Sunday's contest with the Atlanta Falcons

Swift, the team's leader in yards from scrimmage, has been sidelined since reaggravating the injury in the first half of the team's Thanksgiving matchup against Chicago. He had returned to practice this week and coach Dan Campbell said the key test would be Friday, when he was expected to expose the shoulder to contact drills, proving comfortable he could take a hit.
