Jetlife33 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Kevin White to undergo leg surgery, could miss season By Dan Hanzus Around the NFL Writer Published: Aug. 15, 2015 at 12:31 p.m. Updated: Aug. 15, 2015 at 12:50 p.m. So much for Kevin White's optimism about a return to the field. Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace announced Saturday that White -- the seventh overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft -- has a stress fracture in his shin that will require surgery. White will begin the season on the team's PUP list and could miss his entire rookie season. Pace said that White suffered a setback in his recovery this week, prompting the need for surgery. The team confirmed that White developed a stress fracture in his shin during OTAs. The hope was that rest and rehabilitation would solve the issue. The discomfort returned this week and coaches noticed a change in White's gait. By remaining on the PUP list, White is guaranteed to miss at least the first six games of the regular season, though it appears the Bears anticipate a longer absence than that. The news comes less than 24 hours after White said he was ready to return to practice. "I feel I can play. But you've got to look at the coaches, trainers and if they say, 'Kevin, give it another week,' that's what I have to do," he said Friday. "Hopefully we'll get some good news and hopefully I'll be back out there very soon." The Bears drafted White with the vision of the former West Virginia standout replacing Brandon Marshall as a top target for Jay Cutler across from star wideout Alshon Jeffery. With White out of the picture for the foreseeable future, veteran Eddie Royal will assume a much bigger role in the offense. New Bears coach John Fox was expected to lean on the run more than his predecessor, Marc Trestman. That might be especially true now that the Bears have lost White, who was expected to make an instant impact as a rookie. This is an extremely tough break for a team in transition. Feel bad for the guy, he was the player I wanted to Jets to draft with their first rounder. I know you can't predict injuries but that Leonard Williams pick just keeps looking better and better.

The Richardson fiasco, The only other player on the draft board that was a possibility over Leo... and he's out for the season. Now if only we took Bridgewater last year.

jamesr Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 And when you hear that #5 pick Scherf has been moved inside to guard because of his struggles at tackle ... it just shows there is no such thing as a sure fire pick in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Sucks for Kevin & Da Berce. Hopefully we get Devin Smith heals quickly and has a good rookie season. Definitely, we need him to stretch the field. Could open up a lot of things in the run game and over the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Wow I didn't hear of that, that's incredible. That was a reach by Washington and everyone knew it at the time. Not everybody. F you recall there were quite a few here that wanted us to draft him if he fell to #6. A freaking guard with the 6th pick in the draft. A GOOD draft. Guards are readily available in FA every single offseason, and there isn't one in the whole league making $10M per (even with inflated/non-guaranteed fluff jacking up the avg).

I remember myself saying if Scherff was looked at as a franchise tackle than it's worth the pick, but most didn't. I remember a lot of projections had him going in the mid first round. I do remember many thought he'd be a good pick for us though. Still seemed like a reach by Washington with Williams still on the board, which nobody thought he'd still be there.

But I remember a lot of the rationale being if he doesn't pan out at tackle then he can just play guard. IMO at #5 or #6, he's either a LT or pick someone else.

Jetlife33 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Wow a lot of bad news injuries throughout the league. The Minnesota Vikings suffered a huge loss Saturday night before the first series was even done. Starting right tackle Phil Loadholt tore his Achilles' tendon early in the Vikings' game against Tampa Bay, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported, according to a source informed of the injury. Loadholt was visibly upset as he was carted off to the locker room. Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Julius Thomas suffered a stable fracture in his left hand during Friday's 23-21 preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. "The good news is that it's quick healing ... The tough news is that he is going to be out probably the rest of preseason," Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said. "But hopefully, if everything works alright, he'll be back ready for the first game." The Giants are quickly thinning out at safety: Mykkele Thompson left the game and did not return with an Achilles injury, the team announced. Coach Tom Coughlin said after the game he is worried Thompson might have an Achilles tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Heres another: The Washington Redskins are down another tight end. Redskins coach Jay Gruden announced Saturday that tight end Logan Paulsen will have surgery Monday to repair a turf toe condition. He is out for the year. Paulsen suffered the injury in practice last week and traveled on Tuesday to meet with the specialist. Gruden's announcement comes two days after starting tight end Niles Paul suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Gruden said Saturday that Paul's loss is "a major blow."
