CHICAGO – Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace announced on Wednesday that the team has placed wide receiver Kevin White on the injured reserve list.
The seventh overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft suffered a fractured left fibula and high ankle sprain in the second half of last Sunday's 17-14 win over the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field. The injury may require surgery.
White currently leads the Bears with 19 receptions after catching six passes in each of the last two games. His 187 yards ranks third on the team behind Alshon Jeffery (317) and Eddie Royal (241).
Fullback Paul Lasike will replace White on the depth chart. He entered the NFL in 2015 with the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent from BYU. After being waived by Arizona, he spent most of his rookie season on the Bears practice squad.
