Bears to put WR Kevin White on IR with fractured shoulder blade

LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Chicago Bears wide receiver Kevin White will be placed on injured reserve with a fractured shoulder blade, coach John Fox announced on Monday.

According to Fox, White's latest injury could require surgery, but the Bears haven't yet ruled out White coming back later in the year. Each NFL team is allowed to designate two players to return off of injured reserve after Week 8.

"My heart goes out to him," Fox said. "He was very disappointed and discouraged in the locker room after the game for obvious reasons. Again, our thoughts and prayers go out to him.
