ESPN Radio 1000 in Chicago is reporting that Bears wide receiver Marcus Robinson suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in his left knee in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals and will miss the rest of the season. Robinson had to be carted off the field with six minutes left in the first half after he injured the knee. The Bears did not disclose the severity of the injury after the game. The reported injury is a major blow for Robinson, who was coming off back surgery after missing the final four games of the 2000 season with a bulging disc. Robinson ranked second on the team with 23 catches for 269 yards and two touchdowns this season. Rookie David Terrell, Chicago's first-round pick, and Dez White likely will share the starting receiver's spot in Robinson's absence. Marty Booker is the Bears' leading receiver with 30 receptions for 331 yards and three touchdowns. Robinson, 26, emerged as one of the top receivers in the NFL in 1999, setting a Bears single-season record with 1,400 yards receiving and 84 receptions along with nine touchdowns. Robinson's yardage total was second overall in the NFC. In 11 games last season, Robinson had 55 catches for 738 yards and five touchdowns. The Bears have won four straight games for the first time since 1995 and matched their best start since 1991 with Sunday's 24-0 blanking of Cincinnati. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ OUR VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Clearly a tough break. Rookie David Terrell looked like a guy ready to elevate his game to the "next level" yesterday. Now his rapid development (and production) will be a necessity instead of a luxury. More as we hear it. Thanks to Footballguy Paul Troy for the lead on this one.
