2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hicks opened 2024 as the Bears' starting strong safety before an ankle injury Week 11 derailed his season. He returned Week 15 but did not reclaim a larger share of the snaps from Jonathan Owens and aggravated the same ankle in the next game. With his rookie deal running through this year, Hicks enters training camp as a backup on the depth chart but could push for snaps if teammates miss time. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $3.74 million contract with the Bears in May of 2022.
Misses five games in 2024
Hicks missed the last two games of the season with an ankle injury. He ended the 2024 campaign with 40 tackles (24 solo), two passes defensed and two fumble recoveries in 12 games.
ANALYSIS
Hicks was the starting strong safety for the Bears until suffering an ankle injury in Week 11. Once he returned to action in Week 15, Jonathan Owens had taken over the starting job, which limited Hicks to 10 snaps in Weeks 15-16. Another ankle injury ended the season early for Hicks. The veteran is under contract with the Bears through next season.
