Bears WR White Needs Surgery on Leg Stress Fracture
BOURBONNAIS, Ill. — One day after injured Chicago Bears wide receiver Kevin White started running on grass for the first time at training camp, he felt pain and knew he faced a worst-case scenario.
White will have surgery on his left shin to repair a stress fracture and will start the regular season on the physically unable to perform list after rest and therapy failed to cure shin pain he first had in June in organized team activities.
"I mostly just tried to let it heal on its own," White said Saturday. "I wanted to do it natural.
"Surgery is not a No. 1 option for anyone so it was obviously the last option and we're at a last option."
