D'Andre Swift News
Friday, October 2, 11:38 AM
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (knee) is off the final injury report after a brief scare Thursday. Swift was added to the report with the knee issue and did not practice, but Courtney Cronin of ESPN reported that he returned as a full participant Friday and has no game designation for Sunday's matchup with the New York Jets. Swift is coming off 20 carries for 84 yards in Monday night's win over Philadelphia, and he also caught two passes for four yards. He has 253 rushing yards and three touchdowns through three games. Kyle Monangai has stayed involved behind him, but Swift has led Chicago in carries every week so far. RotoBaller ranks him as RB15 for Week 4. Friday's full practice puts Swift back on track to handle his usual role Sunday.

Travis Etienne Jr. News
Thursday, October 1, 12:40 PM
The New Orleans Saints are placing running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Etienne Jr. will now miss the Saints' next four games at least, leaving him ineligible to return before Week 9. The 27-year-old had gotten off to a slow start to his first season in New Orleans, recording 30 carries for 128 yards and 11 catches for 51 yards on 13 targets across the first three weeks of 2026. With Etienne Jr. sidelined, the Saints will likely split backfield work between Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and CJ Donaldson. Kamara is obviously the most established back between the three, but he's 31 years old and has averaged 2.8 yards per carry so far this year. In leagues where he's not already rostered, Miller could be a worthy waiver wire target for fantasy managers.
