Anthony Hitchens Mic'd Up: "Dirty Dan does it again!" | Week 6 vs. Bills
4 DAYS AGO • YOUTUBE
Five tackles Monday Hitchens had five tackles (three solo) and one quarterback hit during Monday's 26-17 win over the Bills.
Returns to practice Hitchens (illness) returned to practice Friday and is expected to play Monday versus the Bills.
Impact Hitchens missed just one practice with a sickness that wasn't related to COVID-19, and he's shaken it off and will begin preparing for a crucial AFC showdown. The 28-year-old linebacker has piled up 37 tackles and a pass breakup through five contests despite not yet having played more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in a game.

Dealing with illness Hitchens (illness) was not present at Thursday's practice, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hitchens is dealing with an illness unrelated to COVID-19, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Nonetheless, the starting linebacker's absence from practice is enough to manufacture some doubt about his Week 6 availability. He'll have two more chances to retake the practice field ahead of Monday's contest in Buffalo.

Posts nine tackles Hitchens made nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 40-32 loss to the Raiders.
Impact Hitchens briefly left the game due to a hand injury but was able to return and lead the team in tackles. The 28-year-old middle linebacker has a team-high 37 tackles through five games. This hand injury could be a lingering issue, but as long as he's on the field, Hitchens should be a solid IDP contributor.

Dealing with injury Hitchens (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Impact The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but, the veteran was forced to leave the contest early in the second quarter. As long as Hitchens is sidelined, look for Ben Niemann to take over as the team's middle linebacker.
