The Chicago Bears have only one player ruled out due to injury this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, and he’s one of the few players that I was really looking forward to seeing play. Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks will not suit up in what is likely his final game as a Bear because of an ankle injury.
At 32-years old, with an expiring contract, and now an eighth game missed this season due to injury, Hicks will probably be elsewhere in 2022. But wherever he goes I’ll be keeping tabs on how he ends his career, as he’s been one of my all-time favorites to ever wear the Navy and Orange.
