Johnny Knox Gets Rocked

Found December 19, 2011 on The Slanch Report:
PLAYERS: Johnny Knox,  Caleb Hanie,  Anthony Hargrove
TEAMS: Chicago Bears,  Seattle Seahawks
Bears_vs_browns_7aa4

At first it was a play like nearly any other, Chicago Bears receiver Johnny Knox received a pass from Caleb Hanie (actually, that Hanie got a completion off IS kinda extraordinary) but Knox received a quick pop that jarred the ball loose from his hands. Frantically diving after the fumble, Knox had the unfortunate luck to almost reach the ball at the same time as the Seattle Seahawks' Anthony Hargrove.

The hit bent Knox back in a most incredibly painful looking way.  


OUCHIE!

Fortunately, Knox (while seriously hurt) was not seriously injured. However, he will be having surgery to repair a vertebrae which will knock him out for the rest of the season.
