Bears Sideline RB Swift Due to Groin Injury vs Bengals

In a significant update for the Chicago Bears, running back D’Andre Swift will be sidelined due to a groin injury. This injury will keep him out of the upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Bears Missing Key Players

Swift did not participate in practice from Wednesday through Friday this week. His groin injury traces back to Week 6, when he sustained the issue in a matchup against the Washington Commanders. Despite this, he played in the following games against the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens.

First Game Absence This Season

Week 9 represents a crucial moment for Swift, as it marks his first time being listed as a “Did Not Practice” (DNP) for three consecutive days this season. This will also be his first missed game since joining the Bears prior to the 2024 season.

Next Up for the Bears

• Running Back: Kyle Monangai will step in as the lead rusher against Cincinnati.
• Injury Update: The Bears will also be without running back Roschon Johnson due to a back injury.

The absence of Swift and Johnson puts the Bears in a challenging position as they prepare to face the Bengals. The team’s offensive strategy will need to adapt to these key player losses.
