Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift leaves practice with midsection discomfort

Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift left practice Thursday while holding his midsection in significant discomfort. The team initially indicated the veteran player was dealing with a cramp as they await further medical evaluation. This development comes less than two weeks before the Bears begin their regular season against the Carolina Panthers on September 13. Chicago is already managing the recovery of running back Kyle Monangai, who has been sidelined with a leg injury since August 16 and remains week-to-week. The team is scheduled for several days of rest before resuming preparations for the season opener. Swift is entering his second season with the Bears after recording over 1,000 rushing yards and ten total touchdowns during the 2025 campaign. His availability remains a point of concern for the organization as they prepare to defend their NFC North title.
