According to Bears coach John Fox, Royal (toe) will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season.

EDGE Analysis

Royal missed Chicago's past three games due to a lingering toe problem, which will cost him the Bears' last two tilts as well. With his fate sealed, Royal will finish the 2016 campaign with 33 receptions on 43 targets for 369 yards and two touchdowns, and 166 yards with one score on his 19 punt returns. With both he and Marquess Wilson heading to IR in the past week, the Bears are left with the recently-reinstated Alshon Jeffery, Cameron Meredith and Deonte Thompson as their top three wideouts.
