Lions Concerned About D'Andre Swift For Week 1
3 years agoDetroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) has returned to practice but questions remain whether he can be an effective contributor Week 1. Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters, "Swift concerns me a little bit with getting his wind and being able to take load. How much can he with where he's at?" Campbell said. "... Look, I'll state the obvious here. He's got ability. There's things that we feel we can do with him, offensively, that really benefit us. But we don't know if he's going to be there. Until we can get him out to practice on a consistent basis, we won't know that." Campbell has intimated several times that he values availability, something Swift has struggled with for the second training camp in a row. Swift has RB2 upside this season but he will come with a legitimate amount of risk.
