Detroit Lions running backs/assistant head coach Duce Stately was asked last week how excited he is to have a healthy D’Andre Swift for 2022. Staley wasn’t ready to count his chickens before they hatched.
“Staying healthy will definitely be the challenge,” Staley said.
Swift is entering his third season in the NFL after the Lions took him in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In each of his first two seasons, he played 13 games, but started only four. He’s dealt with a concussion, a lingering groin injury and a shoulder injury.
