Akiem Hicks won’t suit up when the Bears travel to Lambeau to take on the Packers on Sunday Night Football, due to a lingering ankle injury. It’s a bit of a surprise, as Hicks said on Friday that the plan was for him to prepare to play.
“I take rivalry games very seriously,” Hicks said. “A coach told me once that you can’t play well against your division opponents, what good are you to the team? And I take that to heart.”
Earlier in the season, Hicks rushed back from a groin injury to play against the Packers.
