EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings linebacker Jordan Hicks underwent a procedure Sunday night and remained hospitalized Monday after developing compartment syndrome in his right leg following the team's 27-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints, coach Kevin O'Connell said.

Hicks initially left the game during the first quarter after he collided with teammate Cam Bynum while making a tackle. He returned to play another 23 defensive and special teams snaps, according to ESPN Stats & Information data, before leaving for good in the third quarter with what the team termed a shin contusion.
