    Chicago Bears rookie offensive tackle Gabe Carimi has a subluxation -- which is a partial dislocation -- of the right kneecap, which is less severe than what was originally believed, according to a source familiar with the situation. Carimi still could miss time, but a source Monday thought the injury was a dislocated knee, which would have been more serious. Bears coach Lovie Smith termed Carimi's injury "a knee sprain" on Monday, which is technically correct. The team is intentionally vague on injuries, considering the competitive disadvantage full disclosure could pose. The Bears purposely gave no timeline for Carimi's recovery because of the fluid nature for recovery from such an injury.
