The Lions signed RB Craig Reynolds from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, per source. He's now signed with Detroit through 2022.

The tweet went on to say Reynolds has 37 carries for 195 yards with an 88.3 PFF grade over the last two weeks. He's no threat to Swift in town but it's worth it for the Lions to see what Reynolds can do with for the rest of the season heading into 2022. It looks like at the very least he's passed Igwebuike and Jefferson on the depth chart. He'll be tough to trust in the Lions offense but is worth adding for the depth at the very least.

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift missed Thursday's practice with a shoulder injury.

Swift has missed consecutive days of practice and will need to take the practice field on Friday to have a chance of suiting up on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. The Lions seem to be holding out hope that Swift will be able to appear in games again this season, but he has yet to resume practicing since injuring his shoulder. If Swift cannot go and Jamaal Williams remains out, Craig Reynolds, Godwin Igwebuike, and Jermar Jefferson will form a committee, with Reynolds being the presumptive favorite to lead the team in carries. This is a situation to monitor.

Could be another long week for the Lions offense, but at least Reynolds and Wright showed signs of life in place of their respective starters.

The Lions are “hopeful” to get T.J. Hockenson and D’Andre Swift back, and Dan Campbell says they felt better today, but they’re still day-to-day.

Hockenson is dealing with a hand issue and Swift a shoulder injury. The Lions aren't likely to push either player to return with another lost season at hand. If Swift can't go and Williams is still out, it could be another combo of Jefferson, Igwebuike, and Reynolds at running back. The team said Jefferson didn't get much time because he was out of practice with a sickness leading up to the game. It's possible he would get more work in Week 15, which would really complicate the RB workload.

Lions RB Jamaal Williams was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and will miss Week 14's game in Denver. RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) is also out, while TE T.J. Hockensen (hand) is doubtful.

So your Lions starters at RB and TE will be Jermar Jefferson and Brock Wright, respectively. Remember when Mike Glennon was the worst fantasy option Week 14?

Lions HC Dan Campbell told reporters Friday that RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) is unlikely to play Week 14 at Denver.

With the Lions season clearly going nowhere, there is no need to rush back Swift against one of the better run defenses in the NFL.

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift missed Thursday's practice with a shoulder injury.

Swift missed Week 13 with the shoulder injury and will need to practice in some fashion on Friday to avoid being ruled out for this weekend's contest against the Denver Broncos. There was some optimism that Swift may be able to return for Week 14, but the flu bug in the facility has modified practice plans enough that Friday will be the team's only day of 'normal' practice. If Swift is ruled out, Jamaal Williams will be a solid RB2 option. Williams is currently our 24th ranked running back for Week 14.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) was officially ruled out for Week 13's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Jamaal Williams will be the lead back for Detroit Sunday, with Jermar Jefferson and Godwin Igwebuike mixing in.

Lions coach Dan Campbell says RB D’Andre Swift is still pretty sore. “It’s hard to say that you’d see him playing,” he said.

Owners should probably prepare to be without Swift in Week 13. Williams is recently back from injury himself but carried the load after Swift went down on Thanksgiving. The rookie Jefferson should also be involved.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift is day-to-day with a shoulder sprain, according to Lions head coach Dan Campbell.

This is arguably the best case scenario for Swift after being ruled out during Week 12's loss. This is an injury to monitor in one week's time.
