Eddie Royal: Doesn't practice due to ankle issue

Royal didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle issue, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Royal has gathered in 18 of the 26 passes thrown in his direction, but only one catch has surpassed 20 yards, leaving him with an uninspiring 6.67 YPC this season. Fortunately, he salvaged Week 4 by reaching the end zone for the first time as a Bear, which may be a sign to come as he continues to renew his rapport with Jay Cutler (hamstring). First and foremost, though, Royal's status could remain murky if he's unable to take part in practice this week.
