Johnny Knox Will Have Back Surgery: After suffering a gruesome back-bending hit during the Seattle Seahawks game Sunday, Chicago Bears wide receiver Johnny Knox will have surgery to stabilize a vertebrae in his mid- to lower-back. "He has total movement throughout his body," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "We're doing tests right now. He has total movement. He's not paralyzed or anything."

I think Knox got Tebow's miracle Sunday. That hit is a nightmare.

He looked like Gumby, the way he bent backwards. I was positive he was paralyzed from that hit.

You aren't supposed to bend that way.
