MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings linebacker Jordan Hicks was taken to a hospital after Minnesota's 27-19 win Sunday against the New Orleans Saints and had a procedure to alleviate pressure from a contusion in his shin. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Hicks had compartment syndrome after taking a direct shot to his shin in Sunday's game. Hicks was taken to the hospital immediately following the game and was still hospitalized a day later. O'Connell said Hicks, Minnesota's leading tackler, would likely miss this week's game at Denver.
