News

  • Ends regular season with 3.5 sacks

    Hicks posted two tackles in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hicks recorded 49 tackles and 3.5 sacks in his fifth season with the Bears. Although his tackle totals were similar to the numbers he posted in his other healthy seasons, his sack numbers dropped dramatically in his age-30 season. He's signed with the team through the 2021 season, and unless he can return to the form he showed a few years ago, he'll be considered an inconsistent fantasy option with a limited ceiling.

  • Ready for Week 13

    Hicks (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

    Analysis: The 2018 Pro Bowler was forced to sit out last Sunday night's loss to the Packers, and he was subsequently made unavailable for the first practice session of the week Wednesday. Limited sessions Thursday and Friday led to Hicks being handed a questionable tag heading into the weekend. He's seemingly shown enough in pregame warmups to earn his 11th appearance of the season.

  • Questionable Week 13

    Hicks (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: The 31-year-old began the week not practicing, but he was able to participate as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. Hicks appears on track to be available for Sunday's contest after sitting out Week 12.

  • Upgraded Thursday

    Hicks (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Hicks failed to suit up in practice Wednesday after missing last week's game, so it's a good sign that he was able to practice in some capacity. Hicks is trending in the right direction for Sunday's contest against the Lions, but if he's forced to miss another game, Mario Edwards and Brent Urban would be in line for the bulk of the Week 13 snaps at defensive end.

  • Starts week with missed practice

    Hicks (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hicks hurt his hamstring in Week 11 and failed to suit up in Week 12 as a result. His absence to start the practice week doesn't bode well for the hulking defensive end's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Lions, though Hicks will have two more opportunities to return to practice.

  • Missing first game of season

    Hicks (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Hicks was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup, but he'll ultimately be forced to sit out due to his hamstring issue. Brent Urban stands to slot into the starting lineup in replacement of Hicks, which could make things easier for Green Bay on the ground.

  • Considered questionable

    Hicks (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers.

    Analysis: Hicks was unable to practice all week, so his questionable designation is seemingly a little optimistic. Still, his final status will be determined by how he is feeling closer to kickoff. If he is ultimately unable to go, look for Brent Urban to replace him at defensive end.

  • Sits out Thursday

    Hicks (hamstring) was a non-participant during the Bears' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: Despite being afforded additional recuperation time with Chicago taking its bye over Week 11, Hicks has still been unable to return to practice after sustaining his hamstring injury in the second half of a Nov. 16 Monday night loss to Minnesota. The 2018 Pro Bowler has generated 39 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks thus far on the season, but if he's unable to go Week 12, it would be one more advantage for the Aaron Rodgers-led Packers offense.

  • Dealing with hamstring injury

    Hicks suffered a strained right hamstring in Monday's loss to the Vikings, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hicks didn't return after suffering the injury in the third quarter of Monday game, and his absence was immediately felt on defense, as Vikings running back Dalvin Cook produced 66 of his 96 rushing yards after Hicks exited the game. Luckily, the 31-year-old defensive end has a Week 11 bye to recover, and his return will be vital for a Week 12 road game against Aaron Jones and the Packers.

  • Unlikely to return

    Hicks is doubtful to return to Monday's game against the Vikings due to a hamstring injury, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Hicks appeared to suffer the injury while chasing down Kirk Cousins during the third quarter, and the team has since tagged him as doubtful to return. Brent Urban will need to step up in Hicks' place.

  • Breaks sack drought

    Hicks tallied a sack and three tackles in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.

    Analysis: Hicks collected his first sack since Week 3, though he now has 4.5 on the season. Hicks is averaging fewer than 3.5 tackles per contest, and unless he can start to boost his tackle totals while getting on another sack streak, he'll continue to be a low-upside IDP option.

  • Cleared for Week 7

    Hicks (illness) will play Monday's game versus the Rams.

    Analysis: After missing the first two practices of the week, Hicks kicked his illness and will suit up for the primetime clash. The veteran defensive end started off the year with 3.5 sacks through the first three games, but he's been in a cold spell since then, being blanked in that department over the last three games. Hicks has a tough test to get back on track, as Jared Goff has avoided sacks well this year, getting taken down on just 3.6 percent of dropbacks.

  • Sidelined at practice

    Hicks (illness) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: It's unclear if this is a COVID-19-related illness, but the fact that he was forced to miss practice isn't a great sign. Hicks has been a strong contributor for the Bears this season, racking up 23 tackles (16 solo) and 3.5 sacks across six games. If the veteran was forced to miss Week 7 against the Rams, Brent Urban and Mario Edwards would be in line for an uptick in snaps.

  • Continues hot streak

    Hicks posted 1.5 sacks and four tackles in Chicago's 30-26 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: For the third week in a row, Hicks has recorded a sack while averaging four tackles. Unless he begins to cool off, he'll continue to be an outstanding IDP option at the defensive end position.

  • Shakes off illness

    Hicks (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice and will play Sunday versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Hicks missed Thursday's practice with an illness but quickly returned to the team. Expect the veteran DE to log a full workload Sunday, looking to shut down Saquon Barkley and pressure Daniel Jones into mistakes. In Week 1, Hicks logged five tackles (four solo) and a sack against the Lions.

  • Falls ill Thursday

    Hicks (illness) didn't suit up in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: It's unclear how serious the illness is for Hicks, but it was enough to force him to miss valuable practice time. If the illness sidelines Hicks for Sunday's game against the Giants, Mario Edwards or Brent Urban would both be in line for an uptick in snaps.

  • Notches sack in opener

    Hicks recorded a sack and four tackles in Chicago's 27-23 victory over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: After missing most of the 2019 season with an elbow injury, Hicks returned to form by being productive as both a tackler and pass rusher. As long as he stays healthy, he'll likely continue to be one of the steadiest defensive line options in the league.

  • Cleared for practice

    Hicks (quadriceps) wasn't listed on the team's injury report for Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Hicks missed most of the 2019 season due to an elbow injury, and his quadriceps injury popped up during training camp. Now healthy, the veteran is expected to assume a starting role in the defense, coming off 65 tackles (51 solo) and 8.5 sacks across 21 games the past two seasons.

    Published: Wed, Sep 9 at 3:15pm by Rotowire.com

  • No practice Friday

    Head coach Matt Nagy said Hicks didn't practice Friday because of a quadriceps injury, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hicks lost most of the 2019 season due to an elbow injury, but he's expected to contribute in a major way this year. In his four seasons in Chicago, Hicks posted 173 tackles, 24 sacks and seven pass breakups over 53 games. While Hicks recovers, expect Brent Urban and Roy Robertson-Harris to rotate in on the first-team defense.

  • Bounceback campaign expected

    Defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano said that Hicks (elbow) is "really eager to get back on the field and be with his brothers out there competing and playing," Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pagano anticipates having a fully healthy Hicks to utilize in 2020, after the defensive end was limited to just five games last year and noticably hampered when available. Prior to 2019's injury-riddled campaign, Hicks had put together three straight seasons with at least seven sacks. If the 30-year-old is indeed able to avoid any setbacks in his recovery, he'll be primed to make an impact as a key member of Chicago's defensive line for 2020.

  • Missing another contest

    Hicks (elbow) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Hicks' elbow injury will cause him to miss his 10th game in the last 11 weeks. With the Bears already eliminated from postseason contention, the veteran defensive end will turn his attention toward getting fully healthy for the 2020 season.

    Published: Fri, Dec 27 at 11:38am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Remains sidelined

    Hicks (elbow) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Hicks continues to battle an elbow injury that's cost him nine of the last 10 games. There's a good chance he won't be able to suit up for Sunday's season finale against the Vikings, especially without Chicago having very much to play for at this stage.

    Published: Wed, Dec 25 at 2:01pm by Rotowire.com

  • Won't play Sunday

    Hicks (elbow) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Hicks returned from injured reserve last week and played 36 snaps versus the Packers, but the elbow injury remains bothersome. The 30-year-old doesn't believe he'll require offseason surgery, but the team should remain cautious down the stretch since it is already eliminated from playoff contention.

  • Continues battling elbow injury

    Hicks (elbow) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old returned from injured reserve to play the Packers in Week 15, but he continues to battle the elbow injury. According to Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune, Hicks doesn't expect he'll need offseason surgery, but it would make sense for the Bears to remain cautious if the injury is still problematic, especially since they are already eliminated from the playoffs.

  • Officially activated

    The Bears activated Hicks (elbow) from injured reserve Saturday, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Hicks will take the field Sunday versus the Packers for the first time since Week 5. It is unclear if the Bears will play him his usual workload as the starting defensive end out the gate or work him into the swing of things. Either way, the veteran defensive lineman will be back in the trenches.

  • Progressing toward return

    Hicks (elbow) needs to be activated to the 53-man roster by 4 P.M. ET on Saturday in order to play Sunday against the Packers, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Hicks returned to practice at the start of December, and coach Matt Nagy said of Hicks Friday, "We like what we're seeing with him" at practice. The team doesn't list Hicks' practice participation since he's not on the 53-man roster, but it appears there's a chance the 30-year-old returns this weekend.

  • Resumes practicing Sunday

    Hicks (elbow) was able to practice Sunday, Mark Potash of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Hicks' ability to participate in a light practice bodes well for his ability to potentially return from IR when he's eligible to do so in Week 15 against the Packers. Whether he's able to ramp up activity in the two weeks between now and then should ultimately determine whether Hicks can rejoin his teammates on the field this season.

    Published: Sun, Dec 1 at 5:12pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Nearing return to practice

    Coach Matt Nagy said it's the "goal" to have Hicks (elbow) return to practice next week, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Hicks moved to injured reserve in mid-October due to the elbow injury, but he may have a chance to play again this season. The 30-year-old is eligible to return Week 15 against the Packers, so participating in practice next week would provide him a couple weeks of practice reps before his potential return.
