The move comes two days after the Lions used the No. 12 overall pick on former Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

After the Lions made the surprising decision to draft Gibbs, questions began to arise about Swift’s future in Motor City. On Thursday night, general manager Brad Holmes was asked what Swift’s position is with the team going forward.

«I mean, D’Andre, he’s still on our roster, he’s still part of our team, he’s still under contract with us,» Holmes said. «He’s a dynamic soccer player, so he hadn’t really changed the math there yet. But he’s early, but he didn’t really change.»

Swift is a Philadelphia native who attended St. Joseph’s Prep, about 10 miles from the Eagles’ home stadium.
