TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers veteran defensive lineman Akiem Hicks tore the plantar fascia in his left foot and is expected to be sidelined for a month, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter Tuesday.
Hicks suffered the injury in the second quarter Sunday in the Bucs' 20-10 victory at the Saints -- their first regular season victory against New Orleans since 2018.
He was taking on a double team of guard Andrus Peat and center Erik McCoy, with outside linebacker Shaq Barrett sacking quarterback Jameis Winston and forcing a fumble when the injury happened.
