Hicks (foot) is active Sunday against the 49ers. Hicks has been dealing with a lingering foot issue all season, but after playing for four consecutive weeks, he popped up on the injury report once again Friday. His ability to take the field should be good news for Tampa Bay's defensive front.

Hicks (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Hicks carried a designation into the weekend after he was added to the injury report Friday, when he failed to practice due to a foot issue. Though being a late-week addition to the injury report is typically a foreboding sign for a player's availability on game day, Hicks' absence Friday may have been a matter of maintenance more than anything. The 33-year-old defensive lineman returned from a six-game absence Week 9 and has proceeded to suit up in each of Tampa Bay's last four contests, recording eight tackles during that stretch.

Hicks (foot) is active Monday against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers official site reports. Hicks has dealt with a foot injury for the majority of the season, but he's been able to play in each of the team's last three games. He should remain a significant part of the Bucs' defensive-line rotation against New Orleans.

Hicks (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus New Orleans, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. While a limited practice session Saturday is a good sign, whether Hicks will be available for Tampa Bay in Week 13 still appears to be close to a coin flip. If Hicks is forced to miss Monday's game, Rakeem Nunez-Roches would be in line for an expanded role on the Buccaneers' defensive line.

Hicks (foot) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Hicks hasn't played since Week 2 due to a foot injury, but he appeared to be trending in the right direction after logging back-to-back full practices to start Week 9 prep. However, he was a non-participant Friday and is now listed as questionable for Sunday. The official designation does say foot/rest, so his absence Friday may have simply been precautionary. However, even if Hicks is available, he'll likely see limited work following a lengthy absence.
