Bears TE Cole Kmet suffers knee injury against Patriots

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet left Thursday night’s game against the New England Patriots with a knee injury in the fourth quarter. Kmet was carted off after making an 8-yard reception and left the field signaling with a thumbs up. Bears head coach Ben Johnson expressed concern, stating, "I don’t think it looked very good," while waiting for further information on Kmet's status after the game. Kmet has played a significant role in the Bears' offense, particularly as a blocker, and had three receptions for 28 yards prior to the injury. His absence could open opportunities for rookie Sam Roush in the coming games.
