Akiem Hicks Expected To Miss A Month
2 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (foot) tore the plantar fascia in his foot in the Week 2 win over the division-rival New Orleans Saints and is now expected to be out for a month, according to a source. It's a blow to the interior of Tampa's defensive line moving forward, starting with a Week 3 date with the Green Bay Packers. With the 32-year-old sidelined, rookie second-rounder Logan Hall will have a chance to see increased playing time early in his first NFL season. Hicks played 58 percent of the team's defensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys, and he racked up five tackles (two solo) and one QB hits through the first two weeks before injuring his foot.
