Both players missed time during the week and are listed as questionable for the game.

Swift has been arguably the team's most important skill player, despite having an atrocious start to the season. The dynamic running back has 878 yards from scrimmage and leads the team with five rushing touchdowns. Allen, meanwhile, hasn't been the same player he was during his days with the Los Angeles Chargers, but is still heavily relied upon in the passing game for quarterback Caleb Williams. He has 30 receptions for 282 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. He was a late addition to the injury report on Friday after tweaking his ankle.
Though they may not be 100%, Allen and Swift will play important roles on Sunday for the Bears as they look to end their four-game losing streak.
