Chicago Bears wide receiver Domenik Hixon tore his right ACL for the third time in his NFL career in Tuesday’s OTA.
A eight year veteran of the NFL, Hixon hinted on Facebook that he was considering retirement.
“I tore my ACL today for the third time today!” Hixon wrote. “I’m disappointed that I won’t be playing for a Bears team that has the players and coaches to win the Super Bowl. I thank God for letting me live my dream of playing in the NFL for 8 years plus. It has truly been fun!”

It’s devastating news, as it’s Hixon’s third-career tear of his right ACL. The eight-year veteran hinted in a Facebook post that he’s considering retirement. Hixon caught seven passes in 15 games for the Panthers last season, largely focusing on special teams.
