Bears general manager Ryan Pace spoke to the media Saturday at training camp to discuss first-round draft pick Kevin White needing surgery. The following is a complete transcript of that conversation:
"I just want to give you an update on Kevin White as we're going forward. As you guys know, it's been a shin injury that we've discussed. Specifically, Kevin suffered a small stress fracture to the lower part of his shin in the later part of OTAs. A lot of times, guys, these stress fractures heal on their own, so that was our plan going forward and that was our hope going forward, which is why we had him stay off it for the summer months.
