    Bears' Cole Kmet: Officially placed on IR

    The Chicago Bears placed Cole Kmet (knee) on injured reserve Friday.Kmet suffered a season-ending right knee injury during the fourth quarter of the Bears' 30-24 win over the Patriots on Thursday. Even with the emergence of Colston Loveland, Kmet was still a key piece in Chicago's offense as a run blocker, and he'll end his 2026 regular season with a 10-87-1 receiving line (on 14 targets) across seven games. Rookie third-rounder Sam Roush is the only other healthy tight end on the 53-man roster other than Loveland, so the Bears could look to bolster the position group by trade or free agency.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Being sent to IR

    Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson said Friday that Cole Kmet (knee) will be placed on injured reserve, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.With Kmet now out for an extended period, potentially the remainder of the season, Chicago will be without its top blocking tight end after he exited Thursday night's game against the Patriots. His absence should open up more playing time for Sam Roush, but the Bears figure to make a move at the position.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Believed to have serious knee injury

    Cole Kmet is believed to have suffered a serious right knee injury in Thursday night's win over the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.That was obvious when he was immediately carted off the field late in the fourth quarter. Kmet has appeared in all seven games this season, recording 10 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets. His loss will be felt immensely in the blocking department, where he handles most of those duties to free up Colston Loveland to run routes. Sam Roush will be next up at the position for Chicago.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Two catches in Week 4 win

    Cole Kmet caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets.Kmet played 68 of 93 offensive snaps in a game Chicago thoroughly dominated. The veteran tight end remains behind Colston Loveland on the depth chart, but he still plays a significant amount of snaps most weeks.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Held without catch in Week 2 loss

    Cole Kmet failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.While Kmet played 51 of 74 offensive snaps in Week 2, he ran just 13 pass routes and was asked to block 37 times. Kmet plays a bunch in a Chicago offense that likes to use multiple tight ends, but his route participation isn't strong enough to warrant serious fantasy consideration if Colston Loveland is healthy.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Catches touchdown in big win

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Listed as co-starter entering Year 7

    Cole Kmet is listed as a starting tight end along with Colston Loveland on the Chicago Bears' unofficial depth chart heading into the Sept. 13 season opener versus the Panthers.The Bears make ample use of 12- and 13-personnel groupings that will allow Kmet and Loveland to frequently share the field together, but Loveland remains the clear top receiving option of the two and will be a featured part of the passing game. Kmet, meanwhile, will function primarily as a blocker, though he's not a total non-entity as a receiver. The 27-year-old churned out a career-best 73-719-6 receiving line on 90 targets in 2023, though Kmet's production has fallen off precipitously over the past two seasons. That trend may only continue into 2026 while Loveland preps for a heightened role after he was more of a part-time player for the first half of his rookie campaign.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Low-volume role continues

    Cole Kmet caught two of three targets for 16 yards in the Chicago Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.Kmet finished the regular season with 30 receptions (on 48 targets) for 347 yards and two touchdowns while catching two or fewer passes in all but three games. He was held under 20 receiving yards nine times and frequently operated as a blocker in two-tight-end sets alongside rookie first-round pick Colston Loveland. Kmet is signed with Chicago through 2027 but projects as a low-ceiling fantasy option if his usage remains unchanged.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Low-volume role persists

    Cole Kmet caught both targets for 16 yards in the Chicago Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.Kmet has caught two or three passes in five straight contests, including two targets in this game while operating behind Colston Loveland. After posting between 28 and 45 receiving yards in four of those games, he has been held to 16 yards or fewer in his last two. The limited target volume keeps him confined to deep-league tight end consideration.
