  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: Misses five games in 2024

    Rotowire

    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.

  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: Won't play Sunday

    Rotowire

    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.

  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: Doesn't practice Thursday

    Rotowire

    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.

  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: Sidelined by ankle injury

    Rotowire

    Hicks (ankle) won't play in Chicago's matchup versus Seattle on Thursday.

    Hicks' absence shouldn't come as a surprise as he was listed as a non-participant in practice throughout the week. This will be the fourth game the 2022 seventh-round pick will miss this season, and Adrian Colbert should see increased usage in his absence.

  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: Opens Week 17 with two DNPs

    Rotowire

    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.

  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: Slated to suit up Monday

    Rotowire

    Hicks (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 matchup versus Minnesota.

    Hicks missed each of Chicago's past three games due to an ankle injury, but he logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week and will return for Monday's game against the Vikings. The third-year safety moved into a starting role Week 6 and logged 100 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps in each of the team's subsequent four contests. With Hicks back in action Monday, Jonathan Owens may move back to a rotational role.

  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: Listed as limited Thursday

    Rotowire

    Hicks (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's walkthrough practice.

    Hicks hasn't played since Week 11 due to a lingering injury, but Thursday's walkthrough session marks his first time since suffering the ankle issue being listed as more than a non-participant at practice. The starting safety will have two more opportunities to further upgrade his practice level prior to Monday's road matchup against Minnesota.

  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: Ruled out for Week 14

    Rotowire

    Hicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Hicks is set to miss his third straight game due to an ankle injury he suffered against the Packers in Week 11. Jonathan Owens is slated to make his third straight start at strong safety Sunday due to Hicks' injury.

  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: DNP on Wednesday

    Rotowire

    Hicks (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

    The third-year pro from California has missed each of the Bears' last two games due to an ankle injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests that he's still nursing the issue. Hicks likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to return for the Bears' Week 14 matchup against the 49ers.

  • Bears' Elijah Hicks: Won't play at Detroit

    Rotowire

    Hicks is out for Thursday's game against the Lions.

    Hicks will miss his second straight contest in Week 13 as he continues to work through an ankle injury he suffered in Week 11 versus the Packers. In his stead, Jonathan Owens projects to start at safety again Thursday.
