As expected, the Chicago Bears have activated defensive lineman Akiem Hicks from injured reserve and he will play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
Hicks hurt his elbow week five against the Raiders and he was placed on injured reserve on October 15. In four games this season he has 6 tackles, 1 fumble recovery, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack, and 3 quarterback hits, but the numbers don’t tell the whole story for Hicks. His presence (6’4”, 352 pounds) in the middle of the Bears defensive line helps the entire front seven.
