Lions' D'Andre Swift shines with Derrick Henry-like workload (but don't expect it again)

D’Andre Swift probably won’t top the 33 carries he got last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers anytime soon, but Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell joked Swift could be in for an even bigger workload if the situation warrants Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

“Fifty?” Campbell said when asked how many carries he is comfortable giving Swift. “No, it was good. It was good for him to get that. I don’t think you typically see or think that way with him, but it was good that he got a load.”

Swift joined the Tennessee Titans’ Derrick Henry as the only NFL running backs to top 30 carries in a game this season when he ran for a career-high 130 yards last week.
