MingusDew 407 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Glad it's looking like he'll sit. Couldn't play him anyways. Just gotta hope and pray that it's a full practice on Wednesday and beyond. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrPositive 886 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Ya agreed. I need to see a full practice at this point, and maybe even a seal of approval from the head coach as well. Even AP telling the truth now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MingusDew 407 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Fantasy Pros listing his expected return as "2021". Man what a depressing turn things have taken. There was the ray of hope last week re: exiting the protocol, but all of this still feels so weird and ominous. Hopefully Swift is able to get healthy, this year or not. He's going to be a great player to watch and own in fantasy for many years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fact is, no one really knows what he is dealing with, so i think it is premature to be speculating that he's out for the rest of the year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just really disheartening that we've gotten a point where that's a reasonable opinion to hold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gabbed 263 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) A bit of optimism from a local beat writer? D’Andre Swift was battling a non-COVID illness after clearing concussion protocol, so he’s nearing a likely return in Week 14. https://www.mlive.com/lions/2020/12/snap-counts-ex-de-matt-nelson-steps-in-at-right-tackle-holds-own-against-bears-khalil-mack.html Edited December 8, 2020 by Gabbed 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

King Gonzo 147 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Makes me sad the Lions missed out on Chase Young and got his bum teammate instead. Swift arrow pointing up though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urban2014 1,741 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Young was 2nd overall. Lions were 3rd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Gonzo 147 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Yea I’m just saying I think Redskins lost like their last game of the year in OT (or around there), and it was the difference between who got Chase Young. Instead the Lions got some CB who either doesn’t play or gets roasted up and down the field. Anyways I’ll stop hijacking this thread and keep it on Swift. Hopefully he gets a full practice today along with some coach speak about him carrying the load next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MingusDew 407 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Supposedly he will be limited today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
