Overview

  • On August 5 Kmet exited practice visibly upset and walked off the field under his own power with trainer Andre Tucker
  • Team sources report his injury was minor and recent scans confirmed he avoided serious damage
  • The 26-year-old has missed only eight games in five NFL seasons, underscoring his usual durability
  • Coach Ben Johnson has deployed Kmet across multiple formations, calling him one of his most trusted offensive weapons
  • Rookie Colston Loveland is in line for increased snaps if Kmet’s condition limits him later in training camp
