Solid pointI'd be worried if he didn't have a "questionable" tag next to his name.I'm not worried about Swift

So frustrating. I think a lot of us were high on the Lions offense this season not because of Hard Knocks but because they arguably have the best offensive line in the league.
I'll raise a toast to a speedy recovery across the board.
Seems like they’re limiting Swift as indicated, but just caught a 22 yard TDJust saw on the crawl that Swift has 4 carries to 10 for Jamaal.
Anyone watching care to chime on on this split?
Swift 4 carries for 56 yards, 2 receptions for 31 and a TD. He's on a snap count but putting up solid numbers. His TD was incredible.

Detroit Lions' D'Andre Swift falls, gets up, then jukes out Washington Commanders' defense for 22-yard TD
C Frank Ragnow is out, but should be OK there bc Evan Brown is very capable.
Bigger concern is LG Jonah Jackson (finger.) If he can’t go that’s a problem, RG Logan Stenberg struggled last week and they might have to start a guy who has been on the team less than two weeks at LG.
They could also slide Penei over to G and start Matt Nelson at RT - Sewell took reps all along the line this summer for this kind of thing.
Decker (LT, calf) is good to go.
The Lions rushing offense is currently #2 in yards, #1 in avg per carry.
Very few players can do so much on so few opportunities.Swift made the jump. He’s been good since his rookie year. He’s on another level now. Stays healthy, he can be an all pro.

The Detroit Lions are averaging a league-leading 3.8 (!!) yards BEFORE contact per rush, per TruMedia. That offensive line is a ****ing monster.
****ing monster indeed.@austingayle_

Sure beats seeing the Packers do well.Being a Bears fan, I feel like I shouldn't feel this way, but I actually like seeing the Lions do well.

Swift feeling better this weekheads up - practice report will come out later but MCDC said they'll probably give Swift the day off. he went to weight training and the offensive install walk through but per usual they'll manage his load during the week.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports D'Andre Swift (ankle) is expected to play in Week 3 against the Vikings.
Pelissero noted we should see a larger role for Swift this week after the home-run-hitter touched the ball just seven times in Week 2. Swift was dealing with the ankle issue in that game as well. The team leaned on Jamaal Williams, giving the vet 13 touches. Swift has been arguably the most efficient runner in the league through two weeks. On his normal share of the carries, he is a weekly RB1.

If he's hurt, sit him until he's healthy. If's he healthy, Campbell is a total moronHe better have been hurt or the Lions got what they deserved not using him.

Looking that way. Gambled on him twice at the 12 spot as I thought he would be a Kamara type back with a very good OL. Felt pretty good about it week 1. Amazing talent but yeah, will have to have big plays for consistent points. Unlike Kamara, doesn't get the short TD carries.Leading candidate for bust of the year relative to ADP. Even if he misses a few weeks, I don’t think the coaching staff will trust him with a heavy workload when he returns. Can’t always rely on big splash plays every week.

If I knew nothing about the season and just read the last 3 posts I'd think this guy must have been terrible and not the RB5 in PPR PPG.
He's great when he's on the field. But has been active the last two games with 12 total carries and now is going to miss time.If I knew nothing about the season and just read the last 3 posts I'd think this guy must have been terrible and not the RB5 in PPR PPG.
Well yeah sure he's hurt so that's not exactly a bold prediction but those posts were allluding to what he's done so far. So far he's been good.Won't last.
