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

Share

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.

The Bears also announced that they have signed quarterback Justin Worley and linebacker Danny Mason to the practice squad.

Worley replaces quarterback David Fales, who was elevated to the active roster after the Bears waived Jimmy Clausen on Monday. Worley, an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee, threw for 3,556 yards, and tossed 23 touchdowns to go along with 21 interceptions during his four seasons with the Vols.

Mason, an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M-Commerce, notched 272 tackles during his collegiate career. He also played for the Colorado Ice of the Indoor Football League last season.
