BOURBONNAIS — The bad news for Kevin White, which began with the rookie wide receiver and No. 7 pick of the 2015 NFL Draft suffering a stress fracture earlier this offseason, turned a little worse this week when the decision was made to have White undergo surgery after the injury failed to heal with rest alone.
Bears GM Ryan Pace confirmed the plan on Saturday, acknowledging that a chance exists that White could miss the season. Player and team remain hopeful, however, and the plan now is to leave White on the PUP list, meaning he could return after the first six games.
