NFC Notes: Bears, Dโ€™Andre Swift, Lions, Packers

Bears

  • Bears OC Luke Getsy was pleased with Teven Jenkins and Lucas Patrick rotating at right guard in Week 1 but wouldnโ€™t say whether the trend will continue: โ€œFortunately, we donโ€™t have to make that decision yet. Weโ€™ll keep going with whatever we feel is best each week, and weโ€™ll take it 1 day at a time.โ€ (Brad Biggs)

Lions

  • MLive.comโ€™s Kyle Meinke writes Lions RB Dโ€™Andre Swift (ankle) missed his second consecutive practice on Thursday. 
  • PFNโ€™s Aaron Wilson, citing a source, reports Swift is considered โ€œgood to goโ€ for Week 2.  

Packers

  • Packers QB Aaron Rodgers commented on WR Amari Rodgersโ€˜ role on offense, or lack thereof after he only played special teams: โ€œYeah, heโ€™s returning for us now. Thatโ€™s all I got on it.โ€ (Matt Schneidman)
  • Rodgers is optimistic about the potential of second-round WR Christian Watson and fourth-round WR Romeo Doubs: โ€œThese are good kids. They really are. They want to please, they want to do the right thing, they care about it. Iโ€™m going to figure out a way to continue to get on the same frequency with them.โ€ (Ryan Wood)
  • Packers HC Matt LaFleur said LT David Bakhtiari (knee) did well in Wednesdayโ€™s practice and there is โ€œno concernโ€ with his mobility. (Rob Demovsky)
  • Packers LG Jon Runyan is still in the concussion protocol and fourth-round OL Zach Tom is expected to start if Runyan is unavailable. (Ryan Wood)
