I’ve been saying for months that Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift is on the outskirts of the roster. After running backs coach Deuce Staley left for Carolina, moving on from Swift was inevitable. The reason being — it felt like Staley was the one pushing for Swift to be in Detroit and for him to be the best version of himself.
Unfortunately, Swift has struggled to stay healthy with the Lions. From a banged-up shoulder to ankle injuries, it felt like there was frustration building. Then, it would continue on the field. There were times on tape when Swift would have an opening and rather than make the correct cut upfield, he would bounce to the sidelines.
