Vikings Open Practice Window for Defensive Starter Ahead of Pivotal Week 16 Matchup

The Minnesota Vikings have been dealing with multiple injuries throughout the 2023 season.

One of those injuries has been to defensive starter Jordan Hicks, who has been on injured reserve for the past four weeks because of a lower leg contusion that required an operation to reduce the swelling in his shin.

On Monday, head coach Kevin O’Connell announced that the Vikings are opening the 21-day practice window for Hicks, which gives him the opportunity to make a return down the stretch of the season.
