NOVEMBER 30, 2020 • 247SPORTS.COM

Missing first game of season Hicks (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Packers.

Impact Hicks was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup, but he'll ultimately be forced to sit out due to his hamstring issue. Brent Urban stands to slot into the starting lineup in replacement of Hicks, which could make things easier for Green Bay on the ground.

Considered questionable Hicks (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers.

Impact Hicks was unable to practice all week, so his questionable designation is seemingly a little optimistic. Still, his final status will be determined by how he is feeling closer to kickoff. If he is ultimately unable to go, look for Brent Urban to replace him at defensive end.

Bears name Mitchell Trubisky starting QB vs. Packers

Mitchell Trubisky will be the Chicago Bears’ starting quarterback against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night

NOVEMBER 27, 2020 • Associated Press

Sits out Thursday Hicks (hamstring) was a non-participant during the Bears' practice session Thursday.

Impact Despite being afforded additional recuperation time with Chicago taking its bye over Week 11, Hicks has still been unable to return to practice after sustaining his hamstring injury in the second half of a Nov. 16 Monday night loss to Minnesota. The 2018 Pro Bowler has generated 39 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks thus far on the season, but if he's unable to go Week 12, it would be one more advantage for the Aaron Rodgers-led Packers offense.

Cousins steps back to forefront for Vikings with Cook slowed

The Minnesota Vikings helped Kirk Cousins get back in a groove this month after his rash of turnovers contributed to the team’s 1-5 start

NOVEMBER 17, 2020 • Associated Press

Dealing with hamstring injury Hicks suffered a strained right hamstring in Monday's loss to the Vikings, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hicks didn't return after suffering the injury in the third quarter of Monday game, and his absence was immediately felt on defense, as Vikings running back Dalvin Cook produced 66 of his 96 rushing yards after Hicks exited the game. Luckily, the 31-year-old defensive end has a Week 11 bye to recover, and his return will be vital for a Week 12 road game against Aaron Jones and the Packers.

Impact Hicks appeared to suffer the injury while chasing down Kirk Cousins during the third quarter, and the team has since tagged him as doubtful to return. Brent Urban will need to step up in Hicks' place.

Breaks sack drought Hicks tallied a sack and three tackles in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.

Impact Hicks collected his first sack since Week 3, though he now has 4.5 on the season. Hicks is averaging fewer than 3.5 tackles per contest, and unless he can start to boost his tackle totals while getting on another sack streak, he'll continue to be a low-upside IDP option.

Cleared for Week 7 Hicks (illness) will play Monday's game versus the Rams.

Impact After missing the first two practices of the week, Hicks kicked his illness and will suit up for the primetime clash. The veteran defensive end started off the year with 3.5 sacks through the first three games, but he's been in a cold spell since then, being blanked in that department over the last three games. Hicks has a tough test to get back on track, as Jared Goff has avoided sacks well this year, getting taken down on just 3.6 percent of dropbacks.

Sidelined at practice Hicks (illness) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice.

Impact It's unclear if this is a COVID-19-related illness, but the fact that he was forced to miss practice isn't a great sign. Hicks has been a strong contributor for the Bears this season, racking up 23 tackles (16 solo) and 3.5 sacks across six games. If the veteran was forced to miss Week 7 against the Rams, Brent Urban and Mario Edwards would be in line for an uptick in snaps.
