The Bears announced that they are placing Kevin White on IR. White suffered a severe high-ankle sprain over the weekend that resulted in a fractured fibula.
The second-year wide receiver – who is effectively in his first year after missing his whole rookie season – will weigh his options over the next couple of months. If he can avoid surgery, then White may be a candidate to return for the final month or so of the season. If he goes under the knife, then he’s likely done for the year. The team also will have to weigh the prospect of bringing White back against bringing another player off of IR. Cornerback Kyle Fuller, another first round talent, is also considered to be a candidate to return.
White asserted himself as a part of the offense with Jay Cutler early on in the season. When Cutler suffered a thumb injury, he showed that he had a good rapport with Brian Hoyer as well. White drew a whole bunch of targets in the last two weeks of action, but it will be a while before we see him on the field again.

So glad I cancelled my NFL Ticket subscription. Bears better get a top 2 draft pick for a QB or they’ll be riots in the streets soon.
What else is new? The fans are losing patience with this new GM quickly.
Not impressed with White. Can’t stay healthy.
But I am impressed by the person who keeps letting us know they make $89/hour working from home AND they have time to post on here about it. I’m sure it’s totally legit.
I AM NOT GIVING UP ON WHITE YET LETS GIVE IT A YEAR OR TWO AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME WHITE WILL STAY HEALTHY ALSO MAYBE IF THE BEARS FIRE FOX AND HIRES A COACH WHO KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING MAYBE THINGS WILL GO WHITES WAY AS FOR THE QB THE BEARS WILL FINISH WITH A RECORD THAT WILL GIVE THEM BETWEEN A NO1- NO9 THERE WILL BE A QB WAITING
To think there was actually a debate for some people weather to take Cooper or White as the first WR off the board.
