The Facts: White, the No. 7 pick in the 2015 draft, is back on the practice field this week during Bears veteran minicamp to begin his third comeback attempt from a major injury.

Diehards Line: Between broken legs in 2015 and 2016 and a broken shoulder blade last year, White has played in five career games for the Bears. That means the preseason speculation about his potential performance has far outweighed the actual game evaluations of his 21 career catches for 193 yards. For now, new HC Matt Nagy and White’s teammates are hopeful of what’s to come for a player who hasn’t appeared in a game since Sept. 10. “What matters is about right now," Nagy said. "He’s young. He has a big ceiling. ... As coaches (we) try to pull it out of him, but he’s got to work hard. He’s got to put time in the playbook. He’s got to put in the extra work after practice when he can. And then when the game comes, he’s got to make plays.” According to Tribune staffer Colleen Kane, White made a couple of big plays at Wednesday’s practice, including a catch far downfield on a slightly underthrown ball. Still, there's a reason the Bears added wide receivers Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel to the mix as free agents and could bring in another target for quarterback Mitch Trubisky in next week’s draft: Counting on White to make plays hasn't been a winning proposition to this point.
