CHICAGO (NFL/Newsfeed) – Matt Forte would like you to know his knee is feeling just fine, thank you very much.

After we reported earlier Saturday the Chicago Bears are concerned about the long-term health of the running back’s knees, Forte took to Twitter to show there was no cause for concern on his end.

Sure enough, the video shows Forte sprinting up a hill with a rope and weight attached to his waist. He moves quickly up the grassy incline as miniature dogs bark just off-screen. All in all, it seems like a pretty decent place to spend a Memorial Day weekend.

The report, which originated in the Chicago Tribune, stated that the Bears are privately concerned arthritis could set in, leading to a chronic problem for the 26-year-old back.

Forte’s home conditioning methods certainly don’t make it seem like he’s treating his knees like pieces of fine china. Forte’s agent, Adisa Bakari, felt compelled to speak out on the issue.

“Matt Forte is among the most, if not the most, durable, all-purpose running back in the NFL,” Bakari told the Chicago Sun-Times. “The 2011 season was the first season of his career that he missed any games. Had the Bears been playoff contenders, he could have returned for the balance of the season. To question his durability at this stage in his career is absurd.”

Forte probably believed his consistent production on the field had long since answered any questions about his durability. It has to be frustrating to worry that might not be enough.

NEW YORK (NBA/Newsfed) — Knicks’ guard Baron Davis will undergo surgery later this week after an MRI on Monday revealed major damage to his right knee, according to the Knicks.

Davis, whose right knee buckled in the third quarter Sunday in Game 4 of the playoff series with the Miami Heat, has a partial tear of the patella tendon and complete tears of the anterior cruciate and medial collateral knee ligaments. Recovery from the surgery will take about 12 months.

Davis, who has battled injuries all season, is the latest Knicks guard lost to an injury. Jeremy Lin is still out after knee surgery, and Iman Shumpert was lost for the season with a torn ACL in Game 1.

Davis, 33, also has suffered from a herniated disk in his back, so the injury could be career threatening.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa running back Jordan Canzeri was scheduled for surgery Wednesday to repair a torn knee ligament and could miss the 2012 season.

Coach Kirk Ferentz says Canzeri is expected to need at least five to six months to recover. Ferentz wouldn’t rule out a return by Canzeri next fall, saying it all depends on how quickly Canzeri can recover. The school did not identify which knee was injured.

Canzeri rushed for 114 yards as a freshman in 2011, including 58 in a loss to Oklahoma in the Insight Bowl.

Canzeri’s absence pushes fellow sophomores Damon Bullock and De’Andre Johnson up the depth chart. Incoming freshmen Greg Garmon and Barkley Hill will also get a chance for playing time in 2012.
