Dolphins' Travis Swanson: Questionable for Week 14
Swanson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Alain Poupart of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Swanson continues to nurse an ankle injury initially sustained Nov. 25, making his status for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Patriots murky at best. If the 27-year-old were to remain sidelined Week 14, Wesley Johnson would be in line to draw another start at center.

Swanson re-signed with the Dolphins on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Travis Swanson: Waived by Dolphins
Swanson was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday.

Jets' Travis Swanson: Inks deal with Jets
Swanson signed a contract with the Jets on Tuesday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
Swanson, a former third-round selection of the Lions, spent his first four seasons in Detroit, starting 42 of 53 games during the stint. However, he missed the final six games of last season due to a concussion -- an injury the center now disputes, claiming he instead had a bad reaction to the medicine he received for the injury. The Jets also brought in former Redskins center Spencer Long (quadriceps), who figures to start the season atop the depth chart. However, Long is returning from a torn quadriceps injury last season, which could give Swanson an opportunity to take over starting duties should Long be sidelined heading into training camp.

Lions' Travis Swanson: Misdiagnosed with concussion
Swanson, who ended the 2017 season on injured reserve, claims he did not suffer a concussion, CBS Detroit reports.
Swanson claims he didn't actually suffer a concussion but had a bad reaction to medicine he was given to treat a potential concussion. When he stopped taking the medicine, Swanson said he no longer experienced any concussion-like symptoms. Considering he also suffered a concussion in 2016 and is set to become an unrestricted free agent, it's evident he wants teams to know he doesn't have a history of serious head injuries -- something that could hamper his ability to land a new deal.

Lions' Travis Swanson: Lands on IR
Swanson (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Swanson was able to participate fully in Wednesday's practice, but he subsequently suffered a setback at some point, so there's no reason to risk his health in Week 17. Graham Glasgow will likely continue manning the center spot in Swanson's stead.

Lions' Travis Swanson: No practice Thursday
Swanson (concussion) missed practice Thursday.
Swanson was thought to have been close to clearing concussion protocol after logging a full practice Wednesday, but his total lack of availability Thursday seemingly nullifies that notion. He still has Friday to prove his health, or else the fourth-year center will likely end the 2017 campaign having logged three consecutive DNPs.

Lions' Travis Swanson: Returns in full Wednesday
Swanson (concussion) was a full participant at the Lions' practice Wednesday.
Swanson has missed the last two games as he progressed through the league's concussion protocol. The 26-year-old should slide back in as starting center on the Lions' shuffled offensive line.

Lions' Travis Swanson: Absence continues
Swanson (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Lions' Travis Swanson: Remains in concussion protocol
Coach Jim Caldwell said Thursday that Swanson is still in concussion protocol, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The Lions have a longer week after playing Saturday against the Bears, but Swanson's status still looks to be in doubt for Sunday in Cincinnati. Swanson would likely have to participate in at least one practice this week to have a chance to return to the field, but given that this is the second time the center has had a concussion keep him out for multiple weeks, the team will likely take a very cautious approach.

Lions' Travis Swanson: Dealing with concussion
Head coach Jim Caldwell said Tuesday that Swanson is in concussion protocol, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Swanson's symptoms did not show up until after Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, and the center is not expected to practice Tuesday. Swanson's 2016 season ended early due to concussions and he missed the last five games of the season, but it's unclear whether this injury is the same level of severity.
