News

  • Set to sign with Cleveland

    Hicks and the Browns have agreed to terms on a two-year, $8 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The nine-year veteran has recorded more than 100 tackles in five straight seasons. Last year with the Vikings, Hicks finished with 107 tackles, five passes defensed, two fumble recoveries, an interception and a forced fumble.

  • Logs another productive season

    Hicks totaled 107 tackles (61 solo), a sack, five passes defended, an interception and returned a fumble for a touchdown during the 2023 regular season.

    Analysis: Hicks crossed the century mark in total tackles for the fifth straight season, despite missing four games with a shin injury that involved a stint on injured reserve. The 31-year-old is set to be a free agent this offseason after two seasons in Minnesota.

  • Four tackles in loss

    Hicks finished Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Packers with four tackles (one solo).

    Analysis: It was Hicks' lowest tackling output since Week 1 against the Bucs when he had three stops. Still, thanks to Sunday's performance, the 2015 third-round pick out of Texas is up to 100 total tackles on the year, which is the fifth straight season he has reached the century mark in that category.

  • Nine tackles in return from injury

    Hicks had nine total tackles, a pass defensed and a QB hit in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

    Analysis: Hicks started at weak-side linebacker and played on all of the defense's 79 snaps. It was a remarkable turnaround after he suffered a shin injury -- one that was subsequently further diagnosed as compartment syndrome -- during Minnesota's Week 11 win over the Saints.

  • Active Sunday

    Hicks (shin) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: The starting inside linebacker practiced fully all week but was still questionable after being activated from injured reserve Saturday. The ninth-year veteran will now play in his first game since Week 10. Hicks has been his usual productive self in 2023, with 87 tackles, four passes defensed, two fumble recoveries, a forced fumble and an interception.

  • Comes off IR

    Hicks (shin) was activated to the Vikings' 53-man roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Hicks had been on injured reserve since Week 10, but it now seems as if he's been able to move past his shin issue. Even though the 31-year-old was activated off IR, he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's affair. If he's unable to suit up, expect Troy Dye to see increased work in Minnesota's linebacker corps.

  • Officially questionable for Sunday

    Hicks (shin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: The 31-year-old linebacker was able to log a full week of practice, but he must be activated off injured reserve in order to play Sunday. According to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Hicks told reporters that his leg is feeling great, and it's very likely that he'll be able to return to the field at some point this season. If Hicks is unable to suit up in Week 16, expect Troy Dye to serve as the Vikings' top right inside linebacker.

  • Deemed full participant Wednesday

    Hicks (shin) was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

    Analysis: Hicks is still on IR, but he was designated to return Tuesday. The veteran linebacker hasn't played since Week 10, but he said Tuesday that he feels 100 percent healthy and wants to suit up Sunday against Detroit, per Mark Craig of the Star Tribune. That seems to be a possibility, though the Vikings will no doubt want to ensure that Hicks is fully recovered before activating him off IR and opening a spot on the active roster.

  • Designated to return from IR

    Hicks (shin) was designated to return from injured reserve by the Vikings on Tuesday, Lindsey Young of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Hicks will now officially open his 21-day practice window in which the team can activate him from injured reserve at any point, potentially as soon as Sunday's matchup with the Lions. The linebacker has been out since Week 10 and he is itching to get back out on the field according to Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

  • Wants to play this weekend

    Hicks (shin) is hoping to play against the Lions on Sunday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Hicks has yet to have his 21-day practice window opened, but head coach Kevin O'Connell stated Monday that it would happen this week, which would likely put Hicks back to practicing with the team Wednesday. Depending on how his leg responds, it's feasible the 31-year-old could return in Week 16, but he'll need to be added to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's divisional clash with Detroit.

  • Getting closer to return

    Hicks (shin) will be designated to return from injured reserve this week, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.

    Analysis: Once Hicks is designated to return from IR, he'll have his 21-day window to practice with the team opened before he needs to be moved to the active roster. This could lead to him returning as soon as Sunday against the Lions, but the Texas product may need more time than that before he returns to play. His practice status beginning Wednesday, assuming he does have his 21-day window opened, will be worth monitoring to get a better idea of his potential availability for Week 16.

  • Optimistic for late-season return

The veteran linebacker affirmed the comments that defensive coordinator Brian Flores made Tuesday, telling reporters that Hicks has a shot to return before the end of the season.

  • Could make late-season return

    Defensive coordinator Brian Flores told reporters Tuesday that there's some optimism that Hicks (shin) could return before the end of the regular season, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Vikings' top inside linebacker was placed on injured reserve in mid-November after suffering a shin injury during Week 10's win over the Saints. Hicks had been having one of the best seasons of his long career, as he was averaging 8.7 stops per game over Minnesota's first 10 outings, which would be his best output since 2019. The 31-year-old has missed the Vikings' last two games, and if he's able to return to the field at some point this season, the earliest he can suit up would be Week 16.

  • Shifts to IR

    The Vikings placed Hicks (shin) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Hicks' move to IR comes after he required an emergency surgical procedure Sunday to alleviate "compartment syndrome" related to a shin contusion he suffered in the Vikings' win over the Saints earlier in the day, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. The standout linebacker has since been released from the hospital, but he'll be sidelined for at least the Vikings' next four games while he recovers.

  • Leaves hospital

    Hicks was released from the hospital Tuesday after undergoing surgery Sunday to alleviate swelling in his lower leg due to compartment syndrome, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hicks has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, but his release from the hospital should be good news for his recovery moving forward. It's still unclear how much time, if any, the 31-year-old may miss beyond Week 11.

  • Undergoes surgery

    Hicks underwent a surgical procedure Sunday to relieve pressure in his lower leg, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Apparently, Hicks will likely need at least a week to recover, so it would seem he'll probably be sitting out in Week 11. If he does miss time, Troy Dye could be in line for an expanded role at inside linebacker.

  • Injures lower leg in win

    Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters after Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints that Hicks sustained a lower leg contusion, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Hicks left the game in the first quarter but was able to return and finished with seven tackles (three solo). His participation in practice in the upcoming week will indicate Hick's availability for Week 11 against the Broncos, but the fact he was able to return to Sunday's game bodes well for his chances.

    Hicks (shin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hicks appeared to have sustained the injury in the first quarter. He checked back into the game before exiting for a second time. Nick Vigil should see an uptick in defensive snaps as long as Hicks remains out.

    Hicks started at middle linebacker and had three tackles and a quarterback hurry in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Hicks is a cornerstone of the defense, as he played on 66 of the defense's 68 snaps and was the only linebacker to remain on the field in all formations.

    Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said that Hicks will undergo an MRI after he was forced out with a toe injury during Sunday's 34-23 loss to the Lions, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Hicks was deemed questionable to return coming out of halftime, though he was ultimately able to come back in and record five tackles and one pass defended during the second half. However, the 30-year-old said postgame that he actually injured the bottom of his foot and that he "feels fine right now," according to Tomasson.

  • Generates seven tackles

    Hicks registered seven tackles (four solo) during the Vikings' 28-25 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hicks has had a somewhat inconsistent start to the 2022 season, as he's recorded double-digit tackles in two of the first four games of the season while being held to just three tackles in Week 2. However, he had the second-highest tackle mark on the team during Sunday's narrow win and has now logged 37 stops (26 solo), including a sack, an interception, two pass defenses and a forced fumble this year.

    Hicks led the Vikings with 14 tackles (nine solo) and added a sack in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Minnesota's defense excelled as a unit in this impressive Week 1 performance, but Hicks was especially effective on an individual level. In addition to leading the team in tackles in his Vikings debut, Hicks also forced an Aaron Rodgers fumble on a sack to end Green Bay's first possession of the second half.

  • Returns to practice

    Hicks, who missed practices at the start of training camp due to a non-COVID illness, is participating in training camp practices, Arif Hasan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hicks was held out of practices as a precaution, but it appears the linebacker is good to go moving forward. According to Hasan, Hicks is one of several starters to be isolated from other defensive players to work with the position coaches individually during portions of practice. The veteran will look to secure a starting role in Minnesota after a solid season with the Cardinals in 2021.

  • Not practicing with illness

    Hicks will not practice Thursday while dealing with a non-COVID illness, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Hicks will now miss his second straight practice of training camp, though the move is primarily precautionary according to Tomasson. The 30-year-old veteran collected 116 tackles and four sacks while playing with the Cardinals last season, and he figures to step into a starting role alongside Eric Kendricks with Minnesota. Hicks' absence to start training camp should provide additional reps for inside linebackers Blake Lynch and rookie Brian Asamoah.

    Analysis: Hicks remained productive in 2021 with 116 tackles and four sacks in 17 games, but letting him go allows the Cardinals to open up more playing time for 2021 first-round pick Zaven Collins within the linebacking corps. Still just 29 years old, Hicks should have little trouble catching on with another team looking for an experienced option at inside linebacker.

Though his 7.9 tackles per game are well behind the career-best 9.3 per game he averaged in 2019, Hicks' improved numbers as a pass rusher has allowed him to remain one of the top IDP producers at linebacker.

    Analysis: Hicks was a limited participant during the Cardinals' practice leading up to the game, but he still played despite the injury. The first-string linebacker managed his third double-digit tackle game this season as the team's primary inside linebacker.

    Analysis: The Cardinals seemingly want their two most recent first-round picks to be the starting inside linebackers, with Collins joined by Isaiah Simmons in a 3-4 base front. Hicks is coming off back-to-back seasons with 16 starts and triple-digit tackles, while also adding 10 pass breakups, four interceptions, two forced fumbles and 1.5 sacks between those years.

    Analysis: Hicks didn't come close to matching his monstrous debut 2019 campaign with the Cardinals, when he had 150 tackles, three picks, two forced fumbles, 1.5 sacks and one fumble recovery. Having said that, he displayed durability, playing in every game for second straight season after missing 21 of 64 contests in his first four years with the Eagles.

    Analysis: Just three stops ahead of teammate Budda Baker, Hicks also tacked on nine pass defenses, three interceptions, two forced fumbles, 1.5 sacks and one fumble recovery. The production was a far cry from the four-year stint to begin his career with the Eagles, which was plagued by injuries (he played 43 of a possible 64 contests).

While this is only the second time he's topped one sack in a season, Hicks leads the league with 111 total tackles, and there isn't any reason to think he'll slow down as long as this Arizona defense struggles to get off the field.

  • Gets second pick of season

    Hicks recorded nine tackles (six solo), one tackle for loss and one interception during Sunday's 30-27 defeat at Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Hicks has yet to miss a defense snap through 10 games, and his weekly stat lines reflect as much, as Sunday's tackle total helped him set a new career high with 98. He now ranks second in the entire NFL to only the Packers' Blake Martinez (102) in the category, while tacking on two picks, two forced fumbles and a half sack. Such production places Hicks among the unquestioned top-tier IDPs at his position.
