Past elbow and triceps injuries Hicks (elbow/triceps) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Hicks missed four of the Browns' five games prior to the Week 10 bye due to elbow and triceps injuries, but the additional rest appears to have helped as he was able to practice Wednesday without restrictions. Barring any setbacks, the 2015 third-round pick should be good to go against the Saints on Sunday. Across five regular-season games, Hicks has logged 24 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Hicks (elbow/triceps) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact Hicks has missed three of the Browns' last four contests after sustaining elbow and triceps injuries in the team's Week 4 loss to the Raiders.

The veteran linebacker will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 9.

Impact Hicks was able to play through his elbow issue in the Browns' Week 7 loss to the Bengals, recording five total tackles across 31 defensive snaps.

Back from two-week absence Hicks (elbow) is active Week 7 against the Bengals.

However, the first-year Brown upgraded to a full practice Friday after logging back-to-back limited sessions to open Cleveland's week of practice, suggesting he's trending towards playing Sunday.

Mohamoud Diabate stepped in as Cleveland's starting middle linebacker against Philadelphia on Sunday and finished with seven tackles (four solo).
