Another major injury for K.Jones of Chi?

[Phicinfan]

Saw in the game log that Kevin Jones was hurt again last night, and had to be carted off. Any news yet on how bad this is? This poor guy simply can't catch a break

I'm hearing he is out for the year.

Kevin Jones tore a ligament in his ankle. Surgery is required, and rehab time is 10 months, meaning he is going to be placed on IR.

Full Story:

Running back Kevin Jones suffered a torn ligament in his left ankle in the first quarter of Thursday night's game at Soldier Field.

Jones has been informed that he will require surgery to repair the injury, and the rehabilitation process will take up to 10 months.

This means the veteran will be out for this season.

Garrett Wolfe and Adrian Peterson will serve as the backups to starter Matt Forte. This increases the chances tight end Michael Gaines will make the roster, although the Bears could go out in search of another back.

Ouch! It's just becoming too painful to hear about. It's like KJ and Caddy are having a contest to see who can rehab back from the most injuries.
