Ends regular season with 3.5 sacks Hicks posted two tackles in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Hicks recorded 49 tackles and 3.5 sacks in his fifth season with the Bears. Although his tackle totals were similar to the numbers he posted in his other healthy seasons, his sack numbers dropped dramatically in his age-30 season. He's signed with the team through the 2021 season, and unless he can return to the form he showed a few years ago, he'll be considered an inconsistent fantasy option with a limited ceiling.

Impact The 2018 Pro Bowler was forced to sit out last Sunday night's loss to the Packers, and he was subsequently made unavailable for the first practice session of the week Wednesday.

Impact Hicks failed to suit up in practice Wednesday after missing last week's game, so it's a good sign that he was able to practice in some capacity. Hicks is trending in the right direction for Sunday's contest against the Lions, but if he's forced to miss another game, Mario Edwards and Brent Urban would be in line for the bulk of the Week 13 snaps at defensive end.

Starts week with missed practice Hicks (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
