Falcons’ WR White questionable against Bears

Flowery Branch — Falcons wide receiver Roddy White did not practice on Friday and was listed on the injury report as questionable for Sunday’s game against Chicago.
He suffered what the team has listed as a head injury during Wednesday’s practice after he collided with safety Lawyer Milloy.
White, the team’s leading wide receiver, was pulled from practice on Wednesday and has not participated since.
Under league rules, the questionable designation means that White has a 50 percent chance of playing against the Bears.
White has 26 catches 454 yards and two touchdowns. He was instrumental in the team’s 27-24 victory over Green Bay last week, catching eight passes for 132 yards and a touchdown.
Earlier this season, offensive lineman Sam Baker missed a game and a half with concussion-like symptoms.
If White is unable to play, Michael Jenkins, rookie Harry Douglas and veteran Brian Finneran will have to play more prominent roles. Wide receiver Laurent Robinson (left knee strain) is also injured and listed as doubtful for the Bears game.
