When Bears players stopped stretching Tuesday and headed off to work with their position groups, D’Andre Swift stood alone. He was the only healthy Bears running back.
“I just knew not to look around for help,” he said with a smile.

There’s irony in Swift’s situation. The Bears went into the offseason looking to find running back help. Had the Patriots not drafted Ohio State star TreVeyon Henderson with the 38th overall pick, the Bears, at No.
