670 The ScoreVerified account @670thescore #Bears WR Kevin White suffered a broken left tibia and severe high ankle sprain. He will be placed on IR.
Could also be having surgery.
Broken tibia? Didn't they put a rod in it, or was it the other leg? I mean, drink some milk or something. What are this kids bones made of?
EDIT: Never mind. The rod was in the shin. Hell, they should have just rodded up the whole leg and that way he could at least fall down without breaking something.
I hate being overly pessimistic but I will be anyway. I'll be shocked if this kid ever becomes what he was drafted to be. He seems like a thoroughbred race horse with a lot of speed but a very fragile body and I think we can add to that his lack of a high football IQ.
They say he lost none of his burst and speed but I've yet to see that out of him this year. His average ypc was right about 9-10 yards and even on those few downfield throws to him I didn't see much separation. Two seasons now have been completely wasted on him and we have guys like Meredith and Wilson who have shown far more than White.
The strings of injuries this year is really remarkable. Without the guys on IR, situation before Jags game is: OUT - Hall DOUBTFUL - Cutler, Goldman, Langford QUESTIONABLE - Acho, Callahan, Carey, Floyd, Freeman, Jeffery, Long, Massie, Miller, Porter, Royal, Sitton and Young!! In short, each and every starter is either IR'ed or here
As I set my Fantasy Football team this week it was amazing the "Questionable" players I have. I play teams this year in 5 FF leagues. I have had to replace a boatload of players since the beginning of the season who have been IR'd. And so many of the IR guys are studs.
I think it is important for Bears fans to understand that this isn't a "Bears" thing, with the injuries. It is NFL-wide. It's a tough sport. Injuries happen.
Our problem is that we already have a team full of new/young players. We have a new OC. We are in a rebuilding year to the max also. Relatively new schemes, players and coaches.
So the injuries just complicate an already tough situation. Nothing good can come from this.
The fans this year are understandably frustrated after multiple bad seasons. They're angry. They put everything under a microscope and are hyper-critical. But they're not being very thoughtful, understanding the big picture here. They want to fire people and give up on players. Just do the "Cleveland Browns Plan" and keep cycling through coaches and players. It's pretty stupid. But fans are not always very bright. It's going to be a long season. Ugly season. Frustrating season. And these injuries are just the icing on the cake of a bad season.

Ok, but I usually compare them to teams we're facing that week, for example Jags have like 3 guys questionable, thats it

That's good to consider too. And thanks for posting it, Alex. Just for the heck of it, I just looked at the season-to-date injuries for both teams. I was surprised a bit. We do have more injuries than what I remembered. I guess I forgot some of these:
