The Chicago Bears had big plans for receiver Kevin White, but a report came out on Thursday indicating the talented rookie may miss the entire season on the PUP list after suffering a shin injury this spring.
Around the League reported this, via Ian Rapoport, who said, “He hasn’t done any running on hard ground. He may not be back anytime soon. Real chance stays on PUP for season.”

Rapoport elaborated on this, noting the Bears want White to be completely ready when he does return:
“The key for the Bears is when he is ready to play he’s the full force that they wanted him to be when they drafted him in the top 10,” Rapoport said, via NFL.
