Knights, 28, injured his knee on Thursday at Punt Road and had to be helped from the ground by trainers.
A photograph of a player being carried from the field circulated on social media on Thursday morning, with a suggestion it was captain Trent Cotchin.
But it was confirmed to be the desperately unlucky Knights, who had kept training with the Tigers after announcing his impending retirement last month in the hope of an unlikely finals call up.
It's the other knee to the one that dramatically collapsed on him in round seven, 2013, in just his fifth game as a Tiger.
From that day on, the former Crow has battled problems with the knee and soft tissue injuries, and has only been able to play one AFL game since.
