It'll be a big call for Chicago.
Is D'Andre Swift playing today? Bears RB has key injury designation for Week 3 originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Chicago Bears have a big game Sunday with lots of people expected to watch.
They've gotten the late afternoon TV window to a nearly national audience to match up with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Bears are certainly hoping to be as healthy as can be to try and avoid an 0-3 start.
That includes running back D'Andre Swift, who has a quad injury and was limited in all three days of practice during the week.

Is D'Andre Swift playing today?
D'Andre Swift is officially questionable, but late Satuday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has reported that he is expected to play.
Swift was listed as questionable on the injury report with his quad injury, and three consecutive limited practices left open some room for doubt.
Inactives for this game won't come out until about 2:55 p.m. ET, so any fantasy football managers worried about this could have a tough lineup call, but the Fowler report helps make Swift seem a bit safer to trust.

If Swift misses out, it'll be seventh-round rookie Kyle Monangai with the first crack at top duties in the backfield, with some supplementary work from Roschon Johnson.
The Bears use Swift in so many ways, including as a pass catcher, so his availability can be crucial to having any chance of keeping up with the Cowboys.
If Swift is out, it just makes it more likely that Chicago starts in nightmare 0-3 fashion, but the latest news is positive.
