Assuming that he’ll play, Akiem Hick’s performance along the defensive line will be closely watched. The Pro Bowl defensive tackle injured his knee in the win against the Redskins and didn’t finish the game. Furthermore, Hicks did not practice with the team all week, and is listed as questionable on the Week 4 injury report. Even if Hicks does play, the amount of snaps he’s on the field for is unknown. Backing up the six-foot-four, 352-pounder is Roy Robertson-Harris, who’s been playing well so far this year. Even with a week’s worth of rest, we’ll have to see just how Hick’s knee holds up.
