Bears' Zach Miller, Eddie Royal sidelined with concussions

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- A pair of key offensive players for the Chicago Bears are unavailable until further notice.

Tight end Zach Miller and receiver Eddie Royal both have concussions, the Bears announced, and must now complete the NFL’s mandated concussion protocol before they can return.

Miller practiced Sunday -- and even spoke to the media at the Olivet Nazarene dining hall -- but later experienced delayed symptoms that he reported to the team.

“He felt a little funny last night and didn’t feel as good this morning, so we just shut it down,” coach John Fox said.
