Bears wide receiver Eddie Royal (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Royal's status heading into Sunday was on shaky ground after he failed to practice this week, and it appears he wasn't able to progress enough over the weekend to give it a go in Week 5.

While he hasn't been a standout performer this season, Royal was likely in line to see a heavy volume of targets with Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) still sidelined. Instead, the Bears will be without both of their top receivers, leaving Marquess Wilson and the relatively unproven Josh Bellamy as the Bears' starting wideouts.
