Royal (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Royal's absence continues as a result of a knee injury sustained in Week 8. In his stead, Jay Cutler has relied upon Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett in the passing attack, but Matt Forte's MCL sprain has allowed new faces (running back Jeremy Langford and tight end Zach Miller) to become receiving threats. If Royal remains sidelined Sunday versus the Broncos, the aforementioned quartet will likely dominate Cutler's focus.
