Royal (ankle) missed practice again Thursday, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis:

Royal hasn't practiced this week due to an ankle injury, leaving only one day to show off his Week 5 viability. If he makes an appearance Sunday against the Chiefs, he may have to contend with Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) for targets for the first time since the season opener.
