Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift is inactive for Thursday afternoon's game against the Houston Texans as he continues to recover from a concussion.
Swift missed last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers and was listed as questionable ahead of the Thanksgiving matchup.
The first-year tailback last appeared in Week 10, making his first career start and totaling 149 yards from scrimmage.
Adrian Peterson and Kerryon Johnson are expected to handle the bulk of the load in the backfield with Swift out. Neither player eclipsed 20 yards last week, but Johnson did haul in two receptions.
Kenny Golladay, Danny Amendola, Jeff Okudah, and Da'Shawn Hand are among Detroit's other Week 12 inactives.
