Hicks (ankle) won't play in Chicago's matchup versus Seattle on Thursday. Hicks' absence shouldn't come as a surprise as he was listed as a participant in practice throughout the week. This will be the fourth game the 2022 seventh-round pick will miss this season, and Adrian Colbert should see increased usage in his absence.
Hicks (ankle/foot) was estimated as a non-practice-participant in walkthroughs both Monday and Tuesday. Hicks hurt his ankle Week 11 against the Packers and sat out Chicago's following three games. The third-year safety returned Week 15 versus Minnesota and also suited up this past Sunday versus Detroit, but he may have aggravated the injury. If Hicks can't play Thursday versus Seattle, Adrian Colbert -- who was signed to the active roster Tuesday -- may be asked to log snaps on defense for the first time this season.
Hicks (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 matchup versus Minnesota. Hicks missed each of Chicago's past three games due to an ankle injury, but he logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week and will return for Monday's game against the Vikings. The third-year safety moved into a starting role Week 6 and logged 100 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps in each of the team's subsequent four contests. With Hicks back in action Monday, Jonathan Owens may move back to a rotational role.
Hicks (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's walkthrough practice. Hicks hasn't played since Week 11 due to a lingering injury, but Thursday's walkthrough session marks his first time since suffering the ankle issue being listed as more than a non-participant at practice. The starting safety will have two more opportunities to further upgrade his practice level prior to Monday's road matchup against Minnesota.
Hicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Hicks is set to miss his third straight game due to an ankle injury he suffered against the Packers in Week 11. Jonathan Owens is slated to make his third straight start at strong safety Sunday due to Hicks' injury.
Hicks (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday. The third-year pro from California has missed each of the Bears' last two games due to an ankle injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests that he's still nursing the issue. Hicks likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to return for the Bears' Week 14 matchup against the 49ers.
Hicks is out for Thursday's game against the Lions. Hicks will miss his second straight contest in Week 13 as he continues to work through an ankle injury he suffered in Week 11 versus the Packers. In his stead, Jonathan Owens projects to start at safety again Thursday.
Hicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Hicks has started each of the last five games at safety for the Bears after Jaquan Brisker (concussion) was placed on injured reserve. Jonathan Owens is next up on the depth chart at safety for the Bears alongside Kevin Byard.
Hicks (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Hicks suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Packers and still appears to be dealing with the effects of it. He'll still have the opportunity to get on the field Thursday and Friday ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Vikings.
