Jordan Hicks Lands On Injured Reserve

Jordan Hicks Lands On Injured Reserve

12 months ago

The Minnesota Vikings placed linebacker Jordan Hicks (shin) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. In other moves, the team signed running back Myles Gaskin to the practice squad and released defensive lineman Michael Dogbe from the practice squad. Hicks will now have to miss at least the next four games after needing emergency surgery to address compartment syndrome after suffering a shin injury in the Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints. With the 31-year-old out for the foreseeable future, either Troy Dye or the recently signed Anthony Barr will take over for Hicks in the middle of the Vikings' defense. Hicks has been a top-10 linebacker in fantasy IDP leagues through 10 weeks, totaling 87 tackles (50 solo), a sack, four tackles for loss, an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries (one returned for a TD), so it's a big loss for Minnesota.
