Bears' Elijah Hicks: Tallies seven stops
Hicks logged seven tackles (four solo) during Chicago's loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Hicks' seven tackles were tied for the most on the team as he once again got the start at safety with Jaquan Brisker (concussion) sidelined. If Brisker is able to return Week 10 versus the Patriots, Hicks will likely be relegated to a backup role.

Bears' Elijah Hicks: Slated for starting role
Head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that Hicks would start at strong safety against the Jaguars on Sunday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Hicks will be the next man up with Jaquan Brisker (concussion) already ruled out for Sunday. The former saw his first snaps on defense this season in Week 5 when he took over for Brisker and recorded two solo tackles. The California product isn't necessarily a stranger to starting, though, as he's handled that role eight times in his previous two seasons with the Bears.

Bears' Elijah Hicks: Concludes second season in Chicago
Hicks finished the 2023 season playing in 17 games, resulting in 35 tackles.
After playing 164 snaps as a rookie, Hicks saw his role expand to 467 snaps in his second year with the Bears. Between Weeks 3 and 9, he was a full-time player, recording between three and six tackles in each game. However, from Week 10 on, he didn't play more than two snaps in any game. Hicks has two years remaining on his contract, and he'll likely enter the 2024 season as a backup safety.

Bears' Elijah Hicks: Returning to form
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.

Bears' Elijah Hicks: Will not return
Hicks suffered a concussion during Sunday's game against the Vikings and will not return, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
After being drafted in the seventh round of the 2022 draft, Hicks didn't see a defensive snap until Jaquan Brisker missed the Week 12 and 13 games. During those games, he posted 10 tackles before going back into a role that was mainly playing on special teams. He'll likely continue his role as a defensive backup and core special teamer in 2023. He's under contract through 2025.

Bears' Elijah Hicks: Goes to Chicago
The Bears selected Hicks in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 254th overall.
Hicks, a California product, had a career-high 72 tackles as a fifth-year senior in 2021. He showed a nose for the ball, too, as he forced four fumbles in 12 games. Hicks did not receive a combine invite and will start his career on the fringe of the Bears' roster.
