Hicks (elbow/triceps) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Hicks has missed three of the Browns' last four contests after sustaining elbow and triceps injuries in the team's Week 4 loss to the Raiders. Wednesday's DNP suggests that both his elbow and triceps are still bothering him, and he's in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. The veteran linebacker will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 9.

Rotowire
Hicks (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Hicks was able to play through his elbow issue in the Browns' Week 7 loss to the Bengals, recording five total tackles across 31 defensive snaps. He logged three consecutive DNPs at practice this week, suggesting he worsened the injury in last week's loss. Expect Mohamoud Diabate to serve as the Browns' top inside linebacker in Hicks' stead.

Hicks (elbow/triceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
