Bears thin at wide receiver with Alshon Jeffery, Kevin White on sideline

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- To say the Chicago Bears are presently thin at wide receiver is an understatement.

Chicago’s top three receivers on the depth chart all sat out Friday’s practice, including former first-round pick Kevin White, whom head coach John Fox said had the day off.

"We do that periodically where we adjust the number of reps [for a specific player like White]," Fox said. "But that’s kind of the grind of camp."

Fellow wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) and Eddie Royal (concussion) watched practice from the sidelines, which is somewhat encouraging since both were kept out of sight from the media on Thursday.
