Bears open 21-day practice window for rookie WR Kevin White

Albeit a longshot, don't count out Bears rookie wide receiver Kevin White for the 2015 season just yet.

The Bears announced on Tuesday that they have opened up White's 21-day practice window, which means the coaching staff will have three weeks to decide if they want to elevate White to the active roster or place him on season-ending injured reserve.

White, the seventh overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft out of West Virginia, has been sidelined since June after suffering a stress fracture in his shin during OTAs. White underwent surgery in August and has been stashed away on the physically unable to perform list.
