Albeit, a Bears player, I liked Johnny Knox, except when the Packers played the Bears. He suffered a horrific back breaking (I think it broke) type injury during the end of 2011 season. I believe I read he's able to walk and live a normal life, however, can't get back to playing shape, thus retired. It's a shame he can't live his dream out further, but a blessing he's able to live a normal life. |

I am glad he walked away from the game than try and risk playing again. Wiry type player.. probably the best option they had prior to Marshall. |
I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.  |

What made it so bad was it was a freakin preseason game. The one that I always hated was Mike Utley. Detroit. I see still photos on you tube but no film of the incident. no speakers here at the office so I am not sure what they are saying so I left it off. |

When whoever the announcer was that yelled in the video, I tensed up and looked away.. Ouch. I had completely missed this.. But am very happy to hear that he's able to walk today. Hopefully he won't have issues down the road, though. |

As far as wicked injuries... Timmy Krumrie's injury is up there.. so is Joe Thiesman's.
