A source tells Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune that the Bears will likely terminate WR Eddie Royal‘s contract once he’s able to pass a physical following a late December surgery to repair a turf toe issue.
Chicago brought in Kendall Wright on Saturday to a one-year deal, so he figures to replace Royal in the Bears offense.
Royal, 30, is a former second-round pick of the Broncos back in 2008. After four seasons in Denver, Royal departed and signed a three-year contract with the Chargers in March of 2012.
