Sweat Back, Hicks Out as Bears Rely on Pass Rush | Chicago Bears News

Meanwhile, safety Elijah Hicks is sidelined with a shin injury, leaving the Bears relying even more on Sweat to be their sack machine. With minimal offseason upgrades, the team’s pass rush hinges on Sweat, Dayo Odeyingbo, and Austin Booker staying healthy and productive. General manager Ryan Poles says they’ll monitor progress closely, with potential moves looming if the current roster doesn’t deliver by mid-August.
