Robinson

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Bears wideout Marcus Robinson will miss the rest of the season with torn ligaments in his left knee.

Robinson, Chicago's leading receiver the past two seasons, will have surgery within two weeks to repair two torn ligaments. His recovery is expected to take up to a year.

Robinson was injured during the second quarter of Sunday's 24-0 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He'd just caught a pass and was turning upfield when he was tackled hard on the sideline by linebacker Brian Simmons and safety Darryl Williams. Robinson tried to get up but couldn't put any weight on his left leg.

The leg was put in a brace, and he was taken off the field on a cart. Originally diagnosed as a sprained knee, tests in Chicago showed the more serious damage.

Robinson had 738 yards receiving last season despite missing the last four games with a back injury. He was a Pro Bowl alternate in 1999, when he set a Bears record with 1,400 yards receiving.

Robinson got off to a slow start this year after recovering from surgery at the start of training camp to repair a herniated disc. He didn't start the first game but still is the team's second-leading receiver with 269 yards and two touchdowns.

The loss of Robinson should mean more playing time for David Terrell, a first-round draft pick this year. Terrell had his most productive NFL day yet Sunday, catching seven passes for 91 yards.
