Hicks (concussion) has been a full participant in OTAs for the Bears, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.
Hicks suffered a concussion during the Bears' 2022 season finale but has since moved past the head injury. The 2022 seventh-round pick started in two of his 15 appearances as a rookie but otherwise served mostly as a special-teams contributor when Jaquon Brisker and Eddie Jackson were available. The 23-year-old will most likely serve as a backup safety and continue to play on special teams this upcoming season.
