After a week of counting him in for their game against the Chiefs on Sunday, the Bears ruled out defensive tackle Akiem Hicks late Saturday.
Hicks came off short-term Injured Reserve last week and played against the Packers, but continued to struggle with his elbow. He played well despite multiple visits to the trainer.
“We want to continue to just keep going forward with him like we’ve been,” coach Matt Nagy said. “I don’t look at this as changing anything with that.
“We’ve gotta talk through all that and... [make] sure that we’re all on the same page, but I know Akiem’s gonna want to be out there and playing and helping out our defense as much as he can.
