The injury news for the 2016 Bears got exponentially worse when it was announced Wednesday that wide receiver Kevin White, the team leader with 19 receptions this season after missing all of last year with a stress fracture, will be placed on injured reserve with a broken left fibula that resulted from a hit on his leg that caused a high-ankle sprain.
Wide receiver is a spot with some depth, and Cameron Meredith weighed in with four catches against the Detroit Lions, three after White was forced out.
“Cam got playing time for us last year,” Bears head coach John Fox said.
