D'Andre Swift - Cleared for Week 1 Head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Swift (groin) will be ready for the Lions' Week 1 matchup versus the 49ers on Sunday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. Impact Swift's groin injury limited his activity in training camp and the preseason, but the Lions never seemed concerned he was at risk of missing the start of the season. Rather than proving that he's healthy, the second-year back's focus in practice this week will likely be working to regain conditioning and getting in as many reps as he can to ensure he's in top form against what projects to be a tough 49ers defense. Campbell has said that he envisions offseason pickup Jamaal Williams having an important role in the season opener, but Swift could still lead the backfield in snaps and touches if he's active Sunday.
