Is D'Andre Swift playing Week 3? Bears RB injury update calls depth chart issues into question image

The Chicago Bears didn't do much this offseason to address their thin running back depth chart.

Those RB concerns could rear their ugly head on Sunday after the latest D'Andre Swift injury update.

Behind Swift are Roschon Johnson and rookie Kyle Monangai. 

The 0-2 Bears really need Swift out there.

Is D'Andre Swift playing Week 3?

Swift is officially listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys.

He was limited all three days of practice this week with a quad injury.

Usually, players that are limited on Wednesday have elevated to full participation by Friday.

The fact that Swift hasn't definitely raises concern.

Monangai has been the first man up behind Swift and got seven carries in Week 2, so expect him to carry the heavier load if Swift is out.

But if that's the case, it's a huge downgrade for the entire Chicago offense in a game that the Bears can't really afford to lose.
