Yesterday, the Chicago Bears cut WR Johnny Knox from the roster. Today we learn that Knox’s NFL career may be over. According to NFL.com,

Knox’s agent told Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday that his client intended to play next season. On Wednesday, multiple sources with direct knowledge of Knox’s situation told Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune he is unlikely to do so because of the serious back injury he suffered in 2011.

Knox hasn’t played since December 2011 and spent all of last season on the physically unable to perform list.

“He had to work himself back up to where he could even walk,” former Bears receivers coach Darryl Drake told the Tribune. “He had to work to get himself up out of bed. Hopefully, he’ll continue to work and get himself back to where he can have the quality of life that he needs to have.”

That report doesn’t sound good.  Hopefully Knox can recover enough to enjoy some kind of quality of life
