With what is going on, I don’t know if it’s really worth it.” “I don’t want to have to deal with him getting a concussion and what it would be like later in life,” he said. Scott also says he is concerned about the impact football has had on his life and plans to get evaluated when his career is over.

The surgery was performed in Charlotte, N.C, by foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson. The Giants have set a 12-week timetable for Nicks’ return. Adam Schefter of ESPN tweeted “One person familiar with the Nicks fractured foot said it was more like a ‘4 to 6 week’ injury.’’ Nicks’ agent, Peter Schaffer, told The Post, “we will know more next week,’’ regarding the earliest Nicks can be expected to return.

Coach Jason Garrett said Jones “can’t catch the ball” over his head right now. He will be worked back slowly into the mix and could be ready for the minicamp on June 12-14.

Westhoff, a bone cancer survivor, had a break in the titanium prosthesis in his leg on May 12 while visiting his son in Indiana. He had surgery six days later and is recuperating at his home in New Jersey. Westhoff had cancer in 1988 and has needed several operations on the leg since that time.

Charles has yet to take part in any of the team’s OTA practices and will most likely will not be joining them until training camp. Head coach Romeo Crennel said he didn’t believe he would be cleared by doctors to play before off-season practice concludes. “We’re going to do everything we can to get them as healthy as they can get before we put them back out there,”. “If they continue to make progress, they should be cleared by camp time.” This is obviously the right move, as they’re counting on him to put together a solid 2012 season. The Chiefs have added Peyton Hillis to their backfield along with rookie Cyrus Grey, so they have some options if he gets hurt, none that you’d feel comfortable using as a featured back.

Still rehabilitating from surgery to stabilize a vertebra in his back after suffering a horrific injury Dec. 18 against the Seattle Seahawks, a clearly underweight Knox acknowledged the possibility that he might miss part or all of the 2012 season. ‘‘It could happen, but I’m staying optimistic,’’ said Knox, who was second in the NFL with 19.6 yards per catch last season, when he had 37 receptions for a team-leading 727 yards and two touchdowns. ‘‘My main focus is in the weight room. I’m not in a rush. This is my spine, the core of my body I’m dealing with. It’s not my knee, ankle or shoulder. I’m taking my time.’’ Knox said he lost 30 pounds after the surgery but has regained 10 in rehab, which would put him at about 165 pounds on his 6-foot frame. He said he’s jogging but not running routes, and he’s doing light weightlifting to build up muscle. But there’s no timetable for his return. ‘‘I’m doing great; I’m feeling a lot better from Day 1,’’ he said. ‘‘Getting stronger. Working on some things to get stronger in my lower body and my back. Most importantly, mentally, too.’’ Source: Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/12731275-606/bears-johnny-knox-could-miss-2012-season.html)
