D’Andre Swift is expected to play in Week 8 against the Ravens
The Chicago Bears rounding out form under head coach Ben Johnson. Chicago is on a four-game winning streak heading into the a Week 8 game against Baltimore. Fortunately, the Bears should have their starting quarterback available for Sunday’s big game.
Bears RB D’Andre Swift is expected to play on Sunday against the Ravens, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Swift is listed as questionable on the injury report with a groin injury. He suffered that injury against the Commander in Week 6.
The veteran quarterback was, too questionable before week 7 with the same injury. But that didn’t stop him from posting 19 carries for 124 yards and a touchdown against the Saints.
Swift thrived in 2025 in Johnson’s run-focused offense. He has 89 carries for 419 yards and three touchdowns in just seven games. Because of that, Swift is on pace to surpass last season’s production.
Bears fans should expect Swift to have a big role on Sunday with multiple offensive linemen out with injury.
Bears without multiple key players against Ravens in Week 8
It’s good to see the Bears making progress despite so many injuries. But they will have to hold on against the Ravens.
The The Bears will be missing multiple starters on offense on Sunday.
Chicago will be without left tackle Braxton Jones, tight end Cole Kmet and running back Roshon Johnson on Sunday. All three players have been ruled out on injury reports.
Now the Bears will put their rookie class to the test. First-round pick Colston Loveland is slated to start in place of Kmet, and UDFA Theo Benedette will fill in for Jones at left tackle.
Meanwhile, Swift and rookie running back Kyle Monangai will anchor the backfield in Johnson’s absence.
Bears fans should keep a close eye on how Benedet plays at left tackle. Chicago placed Braxton Jones on injured reserve on Saturday, guaranteeing that he will miss at least the next four weeks. That puts pressure on Benedetto to succeed right away during a key stretch of Chicago’s schedule.
Chicago will put themselves in a good position if they can beat a stalwart Baltimore team in Week 8.
Bears at Ravens kicks off Sunday at 1:00 PM ET.
