Hicks recorded 22 tackles (13 solo), including one sack, and defensed three passes overall across 11 games during the 2022 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran also totaled three solo stops and a pass breakup during the wild-card loss to the Cowboys. Hicks was signed on a one-year deal to serve as a veteran stopgap that could help along the front line of the Buccaneers' 3-4 defense, but a foot injury cost him six games of action between Weeks 3 and 8. Slated to be a free agent at the start of the new league year and with his best days behind him at age 33, it's likely Tampa Bay turns to younger alternatives for the 2023 campaign.

Hicks (foot) is active Sunday against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks has been dealing with a lingering foot issue all season, but after playing for four consecutive weeks, he popped up on the injury report once again Friday. His ability to take the field should be good news for Tampa Bay's defensive front.

Hicks (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks carried a designation into the weekend after he was added to the injury report Friday, when he failed to practice due to a foot issue. Though being a late-week addition to the injury report is typically a foreboding sign for a player's availability on game day, Hicks' absence Friday may have been a matter of maintenance more than anything. The 33-year-old defensive lineman returned from a six-game absence Week 9 and has proceeded to suit up in each of Tampa Bay's last four contests, recording eight tackles during that stretch.

Hicks (foot) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

After not being on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, Hicks appeared on the list Friday as a non-participant due to a foot injury. The veteran defensive tackle has battled a foot issue for the majority of the campaign, but he's suited up in each of Tampa Bay's past four games, playing over 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps and posting eight tackles during that stretch.

Hicks (foot) is active Monday against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks has dealt with a foot injury for the majority of the season, but he's been able to play in each of the team's last three games. He should remain a significant part of the Bucs' defensive-line rotation against New Orleans.

Hicks (foot) is expected to suit up for Monday's game against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks is officially listed as questionable for Monday Night Football, but it appears the starting defensive lineman is trending in the right direction. The veteran has only suited up for five games this season.

Hicks (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus New Orleans, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While a limited practice session Saturday is a good sign, whether Hicks will be available for Tampa Bay in Week 13 still appears to be close to a coin flip. If Hicks is forced to miss Monday's game, Rakeem Nunez-Roches would be in line for an expanded role on the Buccaneers' defensive line.

Hicks (foot) was ruled active ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks will be available for the first time since suffering a foot injury Week 2. However, the veteran defensive lineman was unable to practice Friday, so he could still see limited usage alongside starters Vita Vea and William Gholston on Sunday.

Hicks (foot) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks hasn't played since Week 2 due to a foot injury, but he appeared to be trending in the right direction after logging back-to-back full practices to start Week 9 prep. However, he was a non-participant Friday and is now listed as questionable for Sunday. The official designation does say foot/rest, so his absence Friday may have simply been precautionary. However, even if Hicks is available, he'll likely see limited work following a lengthy absence.

Hicks (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Hicks hasn't seen game action since suffering a foot injury in Week 2, but he appears to be eyeing a Week 9 return against the Rams after logging a full practice. He recorded five tackles (two solo) in his first two contests prior to the injury and figures to add a huge boost to this Tampa Bay defensive line, assuming he's cleared to play Sunday.
