The Bears fear wide receiver Kevin White has a broken bone in his shoulder and will require season-ending surgery, reports Dan Graziano of ESPN.com. 
If confirmed, White’s latest injury will be simply another health-related setback for the former No. 7 overall pick. White, who missed the entirety of his rookie campaign, has appeared in only five games through two-plus NFL seasons. In 2016, White started four games and managed 19 receptions for 187 yards.
White, 25, is signed through 2018, and will fully guaranteed salaries of $1.9MM and $2.7MM over the next two years. The Bears hold a 2019 fifth-year option on White, but it will almost assuredly be declined. Not only has White not been available to post the kind of production that would make the option worthwhile, but his injury history could easily result in the option becoming fully guaranteed, an untenable outcome from the team’s perspective.
Chicago had already lost one wideout earlier this year, as Cameron Meredith went down with a torn ACL during the preseason. Markus Wheaton, Kendall Wright, Josh Bellamy, Deonte Thompson, and Tre McBride now comprise the remaining Bears’ receivers. Tanner Gentry, currently on Chicago’s practice squad, is conceivably a candidate to be promoted to the active roster.
What a bust of a draft pick. Got paid millions of dollars to play 5 games in 3 years.
Safe to say he’s out of a job after this season
BUST! IT! UP!
How is he a bust? The guy hasn’t even had a chance due to injury
It’s a bust because Chicago got absolutely nothing out of him. I guess there’s some wiggle room in the definition of the phrase where some people use it to mean a wasted pick and others use it for bad players. We don’t know if White is bad, but we do know Chicago wasted that pick because he hasn’t played (even if hey couldn’t have really predicted that).
That’s a fair response TDK. The pick hasn’t panned out, but you can’t blame him for that. Just unfortunate he hasn’t been able to stay on the field
Even when he did take the field he was not anything special. As a Chicago bears fan this pains me because he really does seem like a great kid with potential but he should not be on the roster next year. Promote tanner gentry he could be a real player
Ok, they bought a lemon. Better?
And here I was feeling bad because the Steelers’ #2 that year, Senquez Golson never made it out of training camp because of injuries and just got released.
The kid is cursed.
He is not cursed. He is just brittle. A china doll.
Perhaps he should look into another profession
He’s more fragile than Derrick Rose !
Hate to say it but i think the kid needs to retire. He can’t stay healthy for more then half a season. Sucks
