Eddie Royal (calf) misses Bears' practice again, questionable versus Colts

Chicago Bears wide receiver Eddie Royal (calf) missed Bears practice again on Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts.

What It Means:

Royal was sidelined all week at practice and likely won't play on Sunday. Cameron Meredith is in line for number-two receiving duties opposite Alshon Jeffery, who has struggled while dealing with his own health issues. With injuries piling up and four teams on bye this week, Meredith is definitely on the radar as a Week 5 fantasy starter. Zach Miller should see a heavier workload as well.

numberFire's algorithms are giving Royal the benefit of the doubt for now, projecting him to catch 5 passes for 48 yards and 0.35 touchdowns against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
