Saw that.
Never seen an upper body get bent back that far.
That's the worst football-related injury I've ever seen, it's as bad as some of those leg injuries you see in "soccer".
Thoughts go out to him.
How do we know he is hurt that bad?Quote:

That was nasty.. Word is he has use of all extremities which is great news.. However he has fractured vertebrae which require surgery. He may never play again.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Johnny Knox is expected to have surgery to stabilize a vertebra today in Chicago and, just a few hours after his injury, the prognosis for his playing career and life were good
i have never seen anything like that before outside of a horror movie. Football aside, I hope Knox can live "normal" life.
I have never seen a player's body contorted like that; wow. Hopefully he has a full recovery.
This might serve as a wake up to all of the helmet to helmet rule or other safety rule critics who think today's game resembles flag football. It is a fast and brutal game, and if injuries like this can be reduced or eliminated, I'm all for it.
FYI

LM: #Bears WR Johnny Knox is out of surgery. Procedure was successful. Football future prognosis remains good. No timetable set for return.
