Royal (calf) was unable to practice Wednesday, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Kevin White's placement on injured reserve is expected to have a trickle-down effect on the rest of the Bears' receiving corps, but both Royal and Zach Miller (ribs) are kicking off Week 5 prep with a DNP in drills. Royal is coming off his best game of the season, hauling in all seven passes from Brian Hoyer for 111 yards and one touchdown Sunday against the Lions. However, a repeat performance this Sunday at Indianapolis won't be possible until Royal returns to practice.
WTF? Do we even have 1 guy on the roster with only an owie and not an injury?
We had one guy but they were so happy he was not injured they gave him a contract extension and he snapped his wrist during the signing. Fox said it was an above the waist injury and could have happened to anyone. He blamed too much pressure in the writing technique and that the pen was a little too heavy. They are only going to use plastic pens from now on. The metal ones can no longer be used at HH.
