Bears Rule Out D'Andre Swift, Multiple Starters

The Chicago Bears have ruled out starting RB D'Andre Swift (groin), RB Roschon Johnson (back) and WR Luther Burden III (concussion) for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati; DE Dominique Robinson is also out and LB Amen Ogbongbemiga is listed as questionable. Head coach Ben Johnson said Swift has been playing through a chronic groin issue and the team is giving him a week off to protect his long‑term availability. Rookie Kyle Monangai is expected to receive the bulk of the carries, with Travis Homer and practice‑squad elevation Brittain Brown providing depth after Monangai’s recent productive outings. Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore are expected to play, bolstering the Bears’ passing game, while the Bengals appear likely to start Joe Flacco despite a shoulder sprain. The Bears will look to rebound after a lopsided loss to Baltimore when they play Cincinnati Sunday at noon on CBS.
