BOURBONNAIS, Ill. (AP)–The Bears may not have first-round draft pick Kevin White running routes for Jay Cutler until the regular season.
White, the seventh selection in the 2015 draft, hasn’t practiced in training camp due to a left shin injury. The Bears have been vague on the exact nature of the injury, although coach John Fox has referred to it as “shin splints.”
On Monday, White began jogging at practice for the first time on dry land during training camp. Fox said White will not be rushed onto the field.
In describing the situation White faces, wide receivers coach Mike Groh invoked the name of Odell Beckham Jr., the Giants’ top pick who last year missed all of training camp and the first four games of the regular season with a hamstring injury. Beckham then won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
