Hicks (shoulder) is practicing at the Bears' training camp, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports. Hicks missed the final two games of the regular season last year but is now healthy. The 25-year-old safety logged 40 tackles (24 solo), two pass breakups and two fumble recoveries across 12 regular-season contests in 2024. He's competing for a backup safety job behind Jaquan Brisker, Kevin Byard and Jonathan Owens in Chicago.

Hicks missed the last two games of the season with an ankle injury. He ended the 2024 campaign with 40 tackles (24 solo), two passes defensed and two fumble recoveries in 12 games. Hicks was the starting strong safety for the Bears until suffering an ankle injury in Week 11. Once he returned to action in Week 15, Jonathan Owens had taken over the starting job, which limited Hicks to 10 snaps in Weeks 15-16. Another ankle injury ended the season early for Hicks. The veteran is under contract with the Bears through next season.

Hicks (ankle/foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers. Hicks' absence in Week 18 comes as no surprise, as the third-year pro was unable to practice throughout the week due to ankle and foot injuries. The 25-year-old appeared in 12 games for the Bears this season, recording 40 total tackles and two passes defended. Jonathan Owens is expected to serve as Chicago's top strong safety with Hicks and Jaquan Brisker (concussion) sidelined Sunday.

Hicks (ankle/foot) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report. Hicks has been unable to play or practice since Week 16 due to ankle and foot injuries. He'll likely be ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Packers unless he returns to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday.
-
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.
