Bears' Elijah Hicks: Misses five games in 2024
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
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: Sidelined by ankle injury
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
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
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
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: Injures ankle Sunday
Hicks rolled his ankle in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Packers, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
The injury likely occurred late in the game, as Hicks logged 37 defensive snaps (86 percent). He finished the contest with four tackles (two solo). This news comes on the same day the Bears worked out five safeties, which indicates this injury should be monitored going forward. If the strong safety ultimately misses any time, Tarvarius Moore would be the likely candidate to replace him.

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.
