Bears RB D'Andre Swift Projected to Have Monster Game vs. Packers

The Chicago Bears walk into Lambeau Field this Sunday with their fair share of injuries. 

Caleb Williams, Noah Sewell, Kyler Gordon and Shemar Turner are all questionable. 

Sewell, Gordon and Turner have had their 21-day practice windows opened after spending the first half of the season on the PUP list. 

Gordon has been dealing with a soft tissue injury and hasn't played. Sewell tore his Achilles in the regular-season finale, and Turner missed all of last year after tearing his ACL in the fifth game. 

Head coach Ben Johnson said at Friday's press conference that one of those three players would likely be elevated to the active roster this weekend. It looks like fans will have to wait longer for Gordon's return, as Sewell was activated instead. 

The only players that the Bears will be without for Sunday's game are running back Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) and linebacker Keyshaun Elliott (quadriceps). 

Monangai has been on fire lately, with two 100-yard performances in four games. He rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 4 win over the New York Jets. 

The timing of the injury is unfortunate, as the Bears face the Packers for the first time in Week 5 this season. 

Luckily, the Bears' rushing attack still has D'Andre Swift. There's even more good news regarding the Packers' defense that the Bears can take advantage of. 

The Packers have allowed the fifth-most rushing yards per game (139.3). On the flip side, the Bears have the NFL's best rushing offense through four games, averaging 196.3 yards per game. 

Because of this, Swift is projected to have a big day against the Packers.

Underdog Sports projects Swift for 110.5 scrimmage yards. Only Bijan Robinson (119.5) and Jahmyr Gibbs (132.5) are projected to have more than Swift this weekend. 

Swift had a solid start to the year in the season opener but has fallen off a little since then. He ran for 124 rushing yards and three touchdowns in Week 1 but hasn't reached the 100-yard mark in his last three games. 

The Packers could be a great chance for Swift to get back on track. 

The Bears could be especially motivated to run the ball with Case Keenum starting under center again. We know Johnson's offense is built on running the ball, but with a backup quarterback starting, the team will want to do it even more. 

If the offensive line can get a good push on Sunday, it could be a long day for the Packers at home. 

Kickoff is at noon CT on Fox.
