Bears rookie wide receiver Kevin White needed Michael Irvin to “talk him off the ledge” last week because he was itching to get on the field after a long spell on the sideline with a shin injury.
Irvin may be free to move on to other ledge-dwellers because White’s taken a step forward in his return to full speed. Bears radio sideline reporter Zach Zaidman shared pictures of White running during Monday’s practice, which was an expected step this week after White passed through running in a pool without any trouble.
The Bears will now wait to see how he responds to this step forward.
