The latest information I have seen.  I don't think anyone really knows.  But I think the first reports were BS. 

The Bears are notorious for this.  Remember Carimi?  By initial reports he was supposed to be back in 4 weeks.  Then next thing you know it's surgery and the IR.

His career is in danger and if I were him I would seriously consider hanging it up.  However I would first make sure the Bears payed all my medical bills and my entire contract.  Meaning you don't retire until the contract runs out or the Bears cut you and you get an injury settlement.

The Bears are also well known for screwing players over in situations like this.  Presumably his agent will be looking out for him but those guys don't always have the legal background to know when something fishy is going on. Knox is on a 5th-round rookie contract so he's not exactly dripping with cash, but it would definitely be in his best interests to hire some professional legal counsel to keep an eye on everything.
