Jordan Hicks Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Browns linebacker Jordan Hicks has announced his retirement from football on Friday. This is tough news for the Browns who are now without their top two linebackers with Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck) currently sidelined and Hicks hanging up his cleats. Hicks played 10 years in the league with four different organizations. He recorded 952 tackles, 16.5 sacks, and 13 interceptions in 134 games in the league. Hicks spent his final season in the league with the Browns. He registered 78 tackles, two sacks, and four passes defended in 12 games with Cleveland last season. Best of luck to Hicks on his life after football. The expectation is the Browns will now use a combination of Jerome Baker, Devin Bush, and Carson Schwesinger at linebacker.

Per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal, Cleveland Browns linebacker Jordan Hicks (concussion) was forced from Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins early due to a concussion and did not return. Before his exit, he notched seven tackles (two solo) and one QB hit. The veteran will now enter the league's concussion protocol ahead of Cleveland's Week 18 road tilt with the Baltimore Ravens. According to USA Today, the team replaced Hicks with linebackers Devin Bush, Mohamoud Diabate, and safety Ronnie Hickman. If the 32-year-old cannot clear protocol before the Browns' divisional bout, those three figure to fill in for him again, with linebacker Winston Reid mixing in behind them. Hicks has missed four games thus far in 2024.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski expects linebacker Jordan Hicks (triceps, elbow) to return to action in Week 11, as reported by Fred Greetham of the NFL. The 32-year-old has already missed four contests this year as he's worked through multiple injuries and hasn't been active since Week 7, with his most recent tricep/elbow ailment. However, it appears he's turned a corner in his recovery coming out of the team's Week 10 bye. His practice participation this week will be telling of his potential status on Sunday when the team visits the Caesars Superdome to square off against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran linebacker has recorded 24 tackles and one quarterback sack in five appearances this season.

The Cleveland Browns agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal on Monday with former Minnesota Vikings linebacker Jordan Hicks. The tackling machine comes to Cleveland after spending the last two years with the Vikings, the last of which saw him pick up 107 tackles (61 solo), a sack, one interception, five passes defensed, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries (one returned for a touchdown) in 13 starts. Hicks will be a strong addition to an already strong Browns defense and should be on the fantasy radar as a linebacker streamer in IDP formats. The 31-year-old veteran was a former third-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015 out of Texas and has had 100-plus combined tackles in five straight seasons, showing just how reliable his floor is for tackles in fantasy formats.

The Minnesota Vikings placed linebacker Jordan Hicks (shin) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. In other moves, the team signed running back Myles Gaskin to the practice squad and released defensive lineman Michael Dogbe from the practice squad. Hicks will now have to miss at least the next four games after needing emergency surgery to address compartment syndrome after suffering a shin injury in the Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints. With the 31-year-old out for the foreseeable future, either Troy Dye or the recently signed Anthony Barr will take over for Hicks in the middle of the Vikings' defense. Hicks has been a top-10 linebacker in fantasy IDP leagues through 10 weeks, totaling 87 tackles (50 solo), a sack, four tackles for loss, an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries (one returned for a TD), so it's a big loss for Minnesota.

Linebacker Jordan Hicks has agreed to a two-year deal with the Vikings. Hicks is rumored to make $12 million, and the signing comes after the Cardinals released him to save cap space. The 29-year-old has started 51 consecutive games over the years. While his production has dipped since he accumulated 149 total tackles, three picks, and 1.5 sacks in 2019, his ability to stay on the field could go a long way for fantasy managers in deeper IDP formats.

The Arizona Cardinals are releasing linebacker Jordan Hicks. The 29-year-old spent each of the past three seasons with the team and didn't miss a single regular season game, compiling triple-digit tackles each year. Last year, he even added a career-high four sacks. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Cardinals are making the move to release Hicks in order to allow their young first-round linebackers Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons to have more time on the field.

The Arizona Cardinals have given linebacker Jordan Hicks permission to seek a trade, according to a source. The Cardinals selected linebacker Zaven Collins with the 16th overall pick in the first round of this year's draft, and he will be the starting Mike linebacker in his rookie season. Hicks took a $3 million pay cut and will now make $2 million in base salary with a chance to make $1 million in 2021. It's possible that he'll remain with the team as a reserve linebacker, but first he'll gauge the market. Hicks also has $2 million available this season in playing-time incentives. The 28-year-old signed with Arizona in 2019, and he finished with 118 tackles and four passes defensed last season.

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks (neck) nabbed his first interception of the season earlier in Sunday's contest versus the Rams, but he has now been deemed questionable to return after sustaining a neck injury. With five tackles (three solo) already under his belt, Hicks moved his yearly total up to 118, having defended his fourth pass of the year as well. Despite being in a golden matchup spot versus Los Angeles and backup quarterback John Wolford, the Cardinals Defense loses a key cog if Hicks is unable to make it back on the field. Check back for updates on his status as they become available.

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks had 12 tackles (eight solo), a sack, an interception and a pass defended against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. Hicks has been effective, but he hasn't quite reached LB1 status. He'll be in the mix for a flex play when the Cardinals return to play Dec. 1, against the Los Angeles Rams.
