Maybe even... a few?</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Chicago Bears</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>With a few extra days to prepare for their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-vs-vikings-predictions-pick-odds-spread-for-nfl-week-15">Monday Night Football meeting with the Minnesota Vikings</a>, Chicago Bears interim offensive coordinator Chris Beatty had <a href="https://x.com/CHGO_Bears/status/1867665163979304992" rel="noopener">promising news</a> for fans, including an injury update on running back D’Andre Swift, per CHGO Bears on X.</p><p>“‘I think [D’Andre Swift] will be out there tomorrow,’ Chris Beatty said when asked about D’Andre Swift’s health status. Swift did not practice today due to a groin injury.”</p><p>With the Bears getting healthier by the week, Swift’s status, however, remains uncertain.</p><p>Swift was a non-participant on Thursday and Friday. Now, with a game on Monday night, Swift has a little more time to rehab his groin injury.</p><p>In Week 14, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-dj-moore-dandre-swift-gameday-injury-updates-vs-49ers">Swift was held out of two practices</a> with a quad injury. Though he didn’t practice on the first two days of the week, Swift still saw the field against the San Francisco 49ers.</p><p>And with his first two days of practice missed in Week 15, his designation on Saturday looks to be the determining factor on whether Swift is good to go or not.</p><h2>Bears get injury update on RB D’Andre Swift ahead of MNF vs. Vikings</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/DAndre-Swift.jpg"><figcaption>Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With Roschon Johnson not participating in practice on Thursday or Friday due to a concussion sustained in Week 13, he could miss his second straight game. If Johnson remains out this week, Travis Homer would be the team’s only active backup running back behind Swift.</p><p>Behind Homer is Ian Wheeler, who became a fan favorite following his screen time on this season’s “Hard Knocks” featuring the Bears.</p><p>Wheeler would be a great addition to this running back room, especially if Swift is sidelined for Monday night’s game. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hbos-hard-knocks-features-heartfelt-moment-between-bears-rb-ian-wheeler-his-mother">Wheeler was placed on IR</a> four months ago following a torn ACL in the Bears’ final preseason matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.</p><p>Swift still played in Week 14 after missing the first two days of practice, meaning he could do the same this week. Their extra day of rehab gives both Swift and the Bears a chance to get healthy since they don’t play until Monday night.</p><p>While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-braxton-jones-annihilate-packers-defender-dandre-swift-td">Swift saw an uptick in production</a> from Weeks 4-8, he’s begun balancing back out with three performances in a row with fewer than 50 rushing yards. That could be due to the lower-body injuries he’s playing through. And as he continues battling a groin injury, the Bears hope to have their starting running back against the Vikings on Monday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bears need to rally during the final weeks of the regular season to carry some positive momentum into the offseason.</p><p>Thankfully, Chicago got a pair of injury updates ahead of their Week 14 game against San Francisco.</p><p>Bears WR DJ Moore <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1865630401890337089" rel="noopener">is expected to play</a> against the 49ers, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Moore is officially listed as questionable with a quad injury. Schefter also confirmed that Bears RB D’Andre Swift will play against the 49ers as well. Swift is also listed as questionable with a quad injury.</p><p>This is great news for a Bears team that desperately needs a win, if only for morale purposes. Moore and Swift are important pieces of Chicago’s offense, so having them on the field is a big lift.</p><p>The 49ers have not been the fearsome team of recent memory, but they are still a tough out for any NFL team. It is big for the Bears to have Moore and Swift available.</p><p>Moore is having a down year after a career season in 2023. He has hauled in 62 receptions for 663 yards and five touchdowns through 12 games. However, he’s started to look like his old self during the month of November.</p><p>Swift is the lead back in Chicago and is on pace to repeat his statistics from 2023 with Philadelphia. He has 179 carries for 704 rushing yards with five touchdowns this season. Swift has also contributed 313 yards as a receiver.</p><h2><b>Keenan Allen drops optimistic take on Bears’ outlook under interim HC</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Keenan-Allen.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Bears fans can be forgiven for thinking that there’s nothing left to cheer for in 2024.

He did a good enough job with the offense that Chicago’s leadership decided to make him the interim head coach.</p><p>Thomas Brown clearly has the support of the locker room, as evidenced by Allen’s statement.</p><p>Brown has a chance to compete for Chicago’s full-time head coaching job this offseason, especially if the team performs well down the stretch.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They have a coach on the hot seat, a new offensive coordinator, and a rookie quarterback in Caleb Williams who is being beat to hell behind a catastrophically bad offensive line.</p><p>Oh, and then there are the injuries. Fortunately, two players who have been on the Bears injury list throughout the week are <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1860582372917518483" rel="noopener">trending upwards</a> as we approach kickoff for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/vikings-vs-bears-predictions-pick-odds-spread-for-nfl-week-12-2024">Chicago’s must-win home matchup with the Minnesota Vikings</a> on Sunday afternoon.</p><p>Per NFL insider Ian Rapoport:</p><p>“The Bears are confident that both RB D’Andre Swift (groin) and WR Keenan Allen (ankle) will play today. Both are listed as questionable.”</p><p>D’Andre Swift has been hit-or-miss all season long, with a four-game stretch in the middle of the season in which he was one of the most productive backs in the NFL. In the three games since Chicago’s last-second loss to the Washington Commanders, Swift has failed to top the 100-total-yard mark, and last week, Swift only logged four more carries than backup running back Roschon Johnson.</p><p>Keenan Allen hasn’t been nearly as much of a factor as Bears general manager Ryan Poles likely envisioned he would be when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-keenan-allen-trade-gm-expecting-deadlier-offense-caleb-williams-rumors">Chicago traded for the veteran receiver back in March</a>. But the Bears offense has been a disaster for much of the season, and the 32-year-old Allen is showing his age, hauling in just 30 receptions for 282 yards and a pair of touchdowns this year. It’s fair to say that he’s become the fourth option in Chicago’s passing attack behind DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet.</p><p>Against a Minnesota Vikings defense that blitzes the hell out of quarterbacks and has picked off more passes (16) than any other unit in the league, Caleb Williams will need all of the help he can get.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
