At practice during the voluntary OTAs on Tuesday, Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Dazz Newsome broke his collarbone. He is scheduled to have surgery on Thursday and is expected to miss about eight weeks. Tom Pelissero broke the news first and also added he should be ready to go by the start of training camp.

Although it is good news that he should be fine by the time camp comes around, this injury will put the other receivers in the spotlight as their reps will be increased.
