Sources say Detroit Lions RB D’Andre Swift are likely to miss a second straight match with a concussion


D’Andre Swift, a returner for the Detroit Lions, is unlikely to play in Thursday’s match against the Houston Texans, sources told ESPN Adam Schefter.

Swift missed his second straight match after a concussion the week before the Carolina Panthers ’Sunday defeat and planted that race. It is questionable that he is playing against Texans.

The rookie began the first start of his career against Washington when he ran 16 yards to 81 yards and caught five passes to 68 yards and a touchdown. Swift has 70 deliveries at 331 yards and four rushing touchdowns this season, as well as 31 catches at 275 yards and two touchdowns received.

As Swift took on the field against the Panthers, Adrian Peterson and Kerryon Johnson shared the rushing workload, although together they were limited to 35 yards on 13 arms.

Information from ESPN Michael Rothstein was used in this report.
