The Facts:
Faulk will have major reconstructive knee surgery and almost certainly miss the entire 2006 season, coach Scott Linehan said Friday. The surgery could spell the end of Faulk's career after 12 years in the NFL. But Linehan said at a news conference the 33-year-old Faulk isn't ready to call it quits. Faulk didn't attend the news conference.
