Sources: Lions RB D'Andre Swift not expected to play vs. Cowboys

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift is not expected to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys due to ankle and shoulder injuries, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Detroit was hoping to get Swift back from a two-game absence after its bye week, but it now looks unlikely barring a change in pre-game warmups, the sources said.

Swift sprained his ankle during the second quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1 then hurt his shoulder at the Minnesota Vikings during Week 3. He acknowledged Thursday that his shoulder is giving him the most pain as of late and that his ankle is getting better, but both are still giving him problems.
