The Bears placed Hicks on the active/PUP list due to a shin injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
It's unclear when Hicks picked up the injury, but he'll be eligible to return to practice at anytime once he's fully healthy. He's mostly operated as a depth piece in the secondary and as a contributor on special teams since being selected by the Bears in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Hicks finished the 2025 regular season with 19 tackles (nine solo) across 17 games.
