LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears Pro Bowl defensive lineman Akiem Hicks has targeted a Week 15 return ever since he landed on injured reserve in early October with an elbow injury.
The wait is almost over. After sitting out eight games, Hicks can come off of injured reserve and play against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
“One of the things I really focused on was just making sure my elbow was in the strongest place possible," Hicks said this week. "We still have some finishing up to do and there's all these dates to make gains and get a little bit better.
