Wide receiver Johnny Knox was placed on the active/physically unable to perform list by the Bears as he continues to recover from the hit last December that nearly left him paralyzed. The 6-foot Knox lost at least 30 pounds following the December collision against former Seattle defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove. In May, he had gained back roughly 10 pounds, and his ability to play football in 2012 remains in doubt. Knox has purposely not watched replays of the collision that bent him backwards and could have left him paralyzed were he not in elite physical condition. Knox is no longer in pain, but he can't do much more than jog or lift light weights. "Since Day One my mindset has been real positive, no letdowns, no setbacks," he said in May. "I'm surrounded by a great group of people, a great organization -- friends, family, they're keeping me positive, and I'm staying positive moving forward.

Via Bears Backer  |  July 25, 2012
Today Bears players went through physicals and conditioning tests in Bourbonnais. WR/KR Devin Hester had lots to say about his plans for the upcoming season with the offense.
