Duce Staley: Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift has 'responded' to my challenge

Three and a half months after he challenged D'Andre Swift to do a better job playing through injury, Duce Staley could not be happier with his running back's performance.

Swift had 87 yards from scrimmage and a key touchdown while playing through a sprained ankle in the Detroit Lions' win over the Washington Commanders last week, and the third-year back appears ready to gut through the injury again Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
