Vikings' Jordan Hicks: Optimistic for late-season return
Hicks (shin) told reporters Thursday that he's optimistic about returning late in the Vikings' season, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Hicks suffered a shin injury -- one that was subsequently further diagnosed as compartment syndrome -- during Minnesota's Week 11 win over the Saints, and he's been on injured reserve for the team's last two games. The veteran linebacker affirmed the comments that defensive coordinator Brian Flores made Tuesday, telling reporters that Hicks has a shot to return before the end of the season. Hicks must remain on IR for at least two more weeks before he can assume the Vikings' top inside linebacker duties once again.

Vikings' Jordan Hicks: Could make late-season return
Defensive coordinator Brian Flores told reporters Tuesday that there's some optimism that Hicks (shin) could return before the end of the regular season, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
The Vikings' top inside linebacker was placed on injured reserve in mid-November after suffering a shin injury during Week 10's win over the Saints. Hicks had been having one of the best seasons of his long career, as he was averaging 8.7 stops per game over Minnesota's first 10 outings, which would be his best output since 2019. The 31-year-old has missed the Vikings' last two games, and if he's able to return to the field at some point this season, the earliest he can suit up would be Week 16.

Vikings' Jordan Hicks: Shifts to IR
The Vikings placed Hicks (shin) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Hicks' move to IR comes after he required an emergency surgical procedure Sunday to alleviate "compartment syndrome" related to a shin contusion he suffered in the Vikings' win over the Saints earlier in the day, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. The standout linebacker has since been released from the hospital, but he'll be sidelined for at least the Vikings' next four games while he recovers. His absence should pave the way for Ivan Pace to serve as the Vikings' defensive play caller, while Troy Dye and practice-squad signee Anthony Barr look like the top candidates to fill Hicks' vacated snaps at linebacker. Through Minnesota's first 10 games, he tallied 87 tackles, one sack, one interception, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.

Hicks (shin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Hicks left the game in the first quarter but was able to return and finished with seven tackles (three solo).
