He was limited in practice Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable but said he will “for sure” take the field when the Bears return to Soldier Field in Week 7.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n “I can’t wait,” Swift said. “Another opportunity against a good opponent coming in. Try to stay on the track that we’re on. Just another opportunity.”<\/p>\n Moore was taken to the hospital after playing the entirety of Chicago’s win at Washington and stayed overnight in the D.C. area under precautionary medical evaluation before returning to Chicago on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Practice squad kicker Jake Moody<\/a>, who had four field goals including the game winner Monday, is set to replace Cairo Santos<\/a> (thigh) for a second straight week after Santos was ruled out Friday.<\/p>\n Swift led the Bears in rushing and receiving against the Commanders while totaling 175 yards from scrimmage. His 108 rushing yards (7.7 per carry) were a season high.<\/p>\n After a slow start to the season, Swift was the engine behind the Bears running game finally breaking through.<\/p>\n “It felt good,” Swift said. “Especially when the guys up front have been doing what they’ve been doing, especially as well as the guys on the outside perimeter too. They did a hell of a job blocking on the perimeter. When it’s clicking like that, it’s good. It’s good for the offense in general.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtney CroninOct 17, 2025, 04:02 PM ET CloseCourtney Cronin joined ESPN in 2017, originally covering the Minnesota Vikings…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172294,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-233494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
