Bears on 6-game skid after blowing late lead against Lions

Mitchell Trubisky made a critical mistake

DECEMBER 6, 2020 • Associated Press

Best game of career Kmet caught five passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 34-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact After failing to see more than three targets in any game during his rookie season, Kmet tied Allen Robinson for the team lead with seven targets while posting the only touchdown reception by a Chicago player. Coming into this game, he had been targeted three times in each of the prior two contests, which was the same number seen by Jimmy Graham. It appears the rookie may be emerging as the team's top tight end, though he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups until he shows more consistency.

Minor receiving role Kmet caught one pass for eight yards in Chicago's 41-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Kmet was targeted three times, including one on a deep pass down the middle of the field that was significantly off target. He's caught just three passes over the last four games, and unless he begins to show consistent production, he won't be a reliable fantasy option.

Targeted three times in loss Kmet caught one pass for seven yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

Impact With just seven catches on the season, Kmet won't be a recommended fantasy option unless he begins to see a sharp increase in weekly production.

Bears hampered by same offensive issues in loss to Vikings

Available Week 10 Kmet (groin) is listed as active Monday against the Vikings.

Impact Kmet managed just one limited practice before this game due to a groin injury, but he'll play through it for a second straight contest. In the Bears' Week 9 loss to the Titans, though, he was blanked in the box score and wasn't even targeted. On the season, Kmet is averaging less than a target per game, with Jimmy Graham leading the team's tight end group.

Bears injury report: RB David Montgomery, TE Cole Kmet DNP on Friday Here’s a look at the Bears’ crowded injury report for Friday’s practice, where seven players did not practice for the second straight day.

NOVEMBER 14, 2020 • USATODAY.COM

Misses second straight practice Kmet (groin) didn't participate in Friday's practice.

Impact Kmet missed a practice last week with a groin injury and was ultimately active for the Week 9 loss to Tennessee, but his status is uncertain again after a second straight missed practice. The rookie second-rounder needs to get on the field in some capacity Saturday to have a shot at playing in Monday's divisional clash against the Vikings. Demetrius Harris and J.P. Holtz both stand to see increased usage behind starter Jimmy Graham if Kmet is forced to miss Week 10.

NOVEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Held out Thursday Kmet (groin) did not participate during the Bears' practice session Thursday.

Impact The second-round rookie had been dealing with a groin issue entering Chicago's Week 9 matchup against Tennesee, but he was ultimately able to suit up and field a season-high 36 offensive snaps during the contest. Kmet was not reported as having aggravated the groin injury postgame, but the issue continues to linger and has resultantly docked his practice involvement. Behind starter Jimmy Graham, longtime Chief Demetrius Harris would receive additional tight end snaps if Kmet is unable to go for Monday night's home game against Minnesota.

Bears feel limited with Nick Foles, Cole Kmet needs the ball: 5 takeaways Roquan Smith is a rare bright spot for the Bears these days.

NOVEMBER 10, 2020 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Active against Titans Kmet (groin) is active Week 9 against Tennessee.

Impact Kmet's absence from Thursday's practice ultimately won't affect his gameday status, as the tight end will suit up in his usual regular capacity behind Jimmy Graham. He hasn't been much of a fantasy factor this year outside of a touchdown caught Week 6 against Carolina, as he's gone without a catch in four of the eight games he's played.

NOVEMBER 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Kmet (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact The rookie second-round pick was added to the injury report Thursday as a nonparticipant, but he returned to practice Friday in a limited fashion. Demetrius Harris and J.P. Holtz would be in line for increased reps behind Jimmy Graham should Kmet be sidelined Sunday.

NOVEMBER 6, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to groin injury Kmet (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

Impact Kmet wasn't among the Bears' injured players Wednesday, so this 'DNP' is cause for concern with regard to his ability to suit up Sunday at Tennessee. If he's unable to go, any lingering TE reps behind Jimmy Graham will filter down to Demetrius Harris and J.P. Holtz.

NOVEMBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in OT loss to Saints Kmet corralled his only target for two yards during Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to New Orleans.

Impact Kmet dealt with a back injury and was reported as a limited participant in practice for the first time all season last Wednesday. The second-round rookie was able to recover with a full session the following day, ultimately recording his eighth appearance of 2020 on Sunday against New Orleans. Despite him fielding a season-high 30 offensive snaps in the contest, Kmet's production against the Saints was a far cry from the four catches, 65 yards and one touchdown he produced the preceding two outings.

NOVEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Puts in full practice Thursday Kmet (back) practiced in full Thursday.

Impact Kmet has consistently played around 30 percent of the snaps on offense each week this season, but the rookie second-rounder only recently has been making an impact in the box score, gathering in all four targets for 65 yards and a TD over the last two games. He kicked off this week with a limited showing Wednesday but bucked the back injury on the second Week 8 practice report. While he'll continue to play second fiddle to starting TE Jimmy Graham, Kmet seems to be developing a rapport with starting quarterback Nick Foles.

Bears Q&A: Matt Nagy isn’t giving up play-calling this week, but what about later this season? Should we believe Cole Kmet will start playing more? When will they get an offensive lineman?
