According to Josh Schrock with NBC Sports, the Bears are signing linebacker Javin White to the roster.

Javin White played for the Bears briefly

White last played for the Bears during the 2022 preseason. The Bears signed him on Aug. 7 of that season, but he was placed on the waived/injured list before the team made their 85-man roster cuts on Aug. 16.

The Las Vegas Raiders initially signed White as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He’s spent time with the New York Jets. The former UNLV standout has appeared in six NFL games and has made four tackles.

White played in the USFL for the Michigan Panthers during the 2024 season. He created two sacks and made 29 total tackles for the Panthers.
