    Was watching postgame with Costas and Florio. They were going thru the injuries today and i had to turn away from the tv when they showed knox's hit. They stated he was undergoing surgery tomorrow to stabilize a vertebra and his prognosis is good. Being folded in half backwards like that, when they say prognosis is good, do they mean he'll likely walk again or will he still be playing football?

    Anyone hear more details? Made theisman's leg look like a cakewalk...

    Here's hoping it looked a lot worse than it actually was/is. :(

    He has a "positive prognosis for his career and quality of life," according to the Bears. The surgery is scheduled for Monday.

    "He has total movement throughout his body, has total use of all his extremities, which is good," coach Lovie Smith said. "We're doing tests right now. He has total movement. He's not paralyzed or anything."


    Amazing that he isn't dead, let alone that he's expected to play again.
