The bad injury news keeps coming for the Detroit Lions. On a day in which captain and safety Tracy Walker suffered a torn Achilles, running back D’Andre Swift also suffered a sprained shoulder, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The good news is that Swift’s shoulder is not expected to require surgery. The bad news is that Pelissero says Swift “could miss some time.” On top of that, Swift told MLive’s Kyle Meinke that the ankle injury he’s been nursing since Week 1 was reaggravated against the Vikings.
Through three games, Swift has been one of the Lions’ best players, rushing for 231 yards (eighth in NFL) at a ridiculous 8.
