Overview
- Kmet exited in the second quarter after a 10-yard catch when he was hit by Bengals linebacker Barrett Carter.
- He went from the sideline tent to the locker room for evaluation and was ruled out before the third quarter by Bears Communications.
- The tight end recorded 10 receiving yards in the game and has nine catches for 132 yards and one touchdown this season.
- He previously missed time after a Week 7 back injury sustained against the Saints that kept him out versus the Ravens.
- With Kmet unavailable, the Bears are expected to lean more on rookie Colston Loveland, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft, and adjust personnel packages.
