Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said running back D'Andre Swift will be ready to play in Week 1 during an appearance on "97.1 The Ticket," according to Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press.

Campbell was previously unsure of Swift's status for the regular-season opener against the San Francisco 49ers due to a groin injury. The ailment caused the rusher to miss portions of training camp.

Swift split time with Adrian Peterson and Kerryon Johnson during his rookie season in 2020. The 22-year-old accumulated 878 yards from scrimmage and 10 total touchdowns over 13 games.

The former second-round pick will be joined by veteran Jamaal Williams and rookie Jermar Jefferson in the Lions' backfield this season.
