These sack celebration after making routine plays are starting to get costly for NFL players.
Following in the footsteps of Stephen Tulloch, Chicago Bears defensive end Lamarr Houston is likely to miss the remainder of the season after hurting his knee celebrating a sack with his team down by 25 points.
Word on Bears DE Lamarr Houston is the team is fearing a season-ending knee injury. MRI tomorrow to confirm, prepared for bad news.

Houston was upbeat, and said he wasn’t worried about tearing anything.
“I have to get an MRI in the morning, hopefully everything is good, but we’ll see tomorrow,” said Houston, who said he’s not worried about a tear. “I probably shouldn’t have celebrated while they were blowing us out, but it happens.
“Landed wrong, tried to hop up, didn’t feel right, so we’ll see what happens tomorrow.”
