White (knee) and the Bears agreed on a contract Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
White sat out the entire 2022 season on the Bears' injured reserve while recovering from a torn ACL, and he spent the entire 2023 campaign as a free agent. The linebacker will look to prove his health with Chicago at training camp in an attempt to appear in his first NFL regular-season contest since playing in two games with the Raiders and Jets in 2021.

White missed the entire season after suffering a knee injury in August of 2022.

Before singing with the Bears this season, White had played in six career games, resulting in four tackles over a three-year span. He'll likely battle for a roster spot in 2023. He's now a restricted free agent.

EDGE Analysis
White injured his knee on a Chiefs' kickoff return in Saturday's preseason contest and did not return to the game. The announcement of his season-ending torn ACL injury comes just 10 days after the veteran linebacker was signed by the Bears. White will now turn his attention to his recovery in hopes to be ready for the 2023 season.

White signed a contract with the Bears on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
White's last game in the NFL was for the Jets in 2021, but the versatile linebacker had drawn interest from multiple teams, including the Cardinals and Seahawks. With Roquan Smith still on the PUP list as he continues contract negotiations, White will look to make it on the active roster and provide depth alongside Caleb Johnson and Noah Dawkins.

The Raiders will activate White (knee) from injured reserve with the intention of cutting him and re-signing him to the practice squad, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
White has been on injured reserve since Sept. 3. Assuming he clears waivers, the 24-year-old should stick around in the organization as a practice player. He appeared in four games with the Raiders in 2020, recording four tackles.

White (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
White suffered a knee injury during a preseason game and is expected to miss some time, so it's not a major surprise to see him starting the season on injured reserve. It's unclear how long the 24-year-old is expected to be sidelined, though he should be able to return this season.

White (knee) is expected to be out a while, but he avoided a major knee injury, Bill Williamson of RaidersSnakepit.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
White was carted off the field in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Rams. While there is not a clear timetable for return, the fact that the Raiders have not placed him on injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list can be viewed as a positive. When healthy, he is projected to provide depth at linebacker this season.
