Chicago Bears safety Elijah Hicks (ankle) was ruled out this weekend for his team's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. It's the third straight game he'll miss. Hicks hasn't even touched a practice field since injuring his ankle in Chicago's Week 11 outing against the Green Bay Packers -- logging a DNP for each week since. The 25-year-old had been filling in for starter Jaquan Brisker (concussion), who has been out for half the season while battling a concussion. With the third-year DB missing another game, teammate Jonathan Owens will again see an uptick in playing time. Chicago looks to avoid dropping their seventh straight outing.
Bears Rule Out Elijah Hicks, Ryan Bates For Week 13
The Chicago Bears will be without safety Elijah Hicks (ankle) and reserve offensive lineman Ryan Bates (concussion) during their Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit, according to the club's final Week 13 injury report. The third-year safety also did not play last week in Chicago's overtime loss to Minnesota. Hicks has 32 total tackles and a pair of fumble recoveries in his past six games, but didn't practice at all this week. Chicago will take on San Francisco in Week 14.
