Chicago Bears running back and leading rusher D’Andre Swift missed practice Wednesday with a groin injury, but his head coach is hopeful he’ll be ready for Week 12.
Swift rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 20-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers but was limited to 57 percent of the team’s offensive snaps.
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said he’s hopeful Swift will be ready to play Sunday against the visiting Minnesota Vikings (8-2).
Eberflus also said offensive lineman Ryan Bates (concussion protocol) and defensive back Elijah Hicks (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Swift, 25, has rushed for 635 yards and five touchdowns in 10 starts this season, his first in Chicago. He also has 28 catches for 243 yards.
Swift earned his first Pro Bowl nod in 2023 with Philadelphia, rushing for 1,049 yards and five TDs.
