Royal (toe) is inactive for Sunday's game at Detroit.
The Bears' No. 1 wideout in name due to Alshon Jeffery's ongoing suspension, Royal will take a seat for the second straight contest and fourth time in the last seven games. Joining Royal on the inactive list Sunday is Marquess Wilson (groin), leaving Cameron Meredith, Josh Bellamy, Deonte Thompson, and Daniel Brown as the top available receiving options for Matt Barkley.
