INJURIES
Bears' Cole Kmet, other tight ends could get rolling once running game does Despite tight ends factoring prominently in Ben Johnson's offense in Detroit, Kmet and rookie Colston Loveland have a combined 22 targets.

Leads team in targets Kmet caught three of nine targets for 46 yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Impact After Kmet was targeted a total of seven times in the first three games of 2025, his nine targets in Week 4 was likely a result of Chicago trying to use quick passes to keep the Las Vegas pass rush off Caleb Williams. Despite the busy afternoon, Kmet will need to string a couple of games with high volume to be considered a reliable fantasy option, although his outlook has improved somewhat with rookie Colston Loveland struggling and dealing with a hip injury.

HIGHLIGHT: Caleb Williams' 29-yard strike to Cole Kmet gets Bears into Raiders' territory Bears quarterback Caleb Williams connects with tight end Cole Kmet for a 29-yard gain.

Logs full practice Thursday Kmet (groin) practiced in full Thursday.
Impact One day removed from being limited due to a groin injury Wednesday, Kmet didn't have any practice restrictions, while rookie TE Colston Loveland remained sidelined due to the hip issue that he suffered this past Sunday against the Cowboys. If Loveland is inhibited or sidelined Sunday at Las Vegas, Kmet would be in line for a bump in volume in the Bears' passing game.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Tending to groin issue Kmet was limited at practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.
Impact Kmet has played the lion's share of the Bears' offensive snaps this season, and while he ran a route on 71 percent of them this past Sunday against the Cowboys, he was targeted only once by QB Caleb Williams. Fortunately for managers that roster Kmet, it happened to be a 10-yard touchdown catch. Meanwhile, rookie first-round pick Colston Loveland wasn't able to practice Wednesday due to the hip injury that knocked him from Week 3 action. Kmet thus appears poised for another large workload Week 4 at Las Vegas, assuming he's able to suit up and Loveland is inhibited or even sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Scores First TD of 2025 Kmet posted one catch for a 10-yard touchdown in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
Impact Although Kmet plays more snaps than teammate Colston Loveland, he has seven targets and four receptions over the first three games. However, with 29 and 31 yards in two of those three games to go with Sunday's touchdown, the tight end may be carving out a consistent, low-volume role in the Chicago passing attack.

Cowboys look to build on wild first win, while Bears try to bounce back from blowout loss

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • Associated Press
Four targets in defeat Kmet caught two passes for 29 yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Kmet was targeted four times, and the veteran has doubled first-round rookie Colston Loveland's targets in each of the first two games. Although it's possible that Loveland sees his role grow over time, Kmet remains the top tight end for the Bears, though that may not lead to many ceiling performances in an offense that relies heavily on their wide receivers.

Serves as top tight end Monday Kmet finished with a 31-yard reception on four targets in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
Impact The Bears invested a first-round pick in April's draft in another tight end in Colston Loveland, but at least for one week, Kmet served as the team's top option at the position. In addition to garnering the start, Kmet out-snapped the rookie by a 60-38 margin and also earned two more targets than Loveland, who finished with two receptions for 12 yards. Loveland had missed time in the spring while recovering from January shoulder surgery, so it's possible that with more practice time as the season unfolds, he could eventually usurp Kmet on the depth chart.

Rips off big gain Sunday Kmet took his only reception for 29 yards in Sunday's preseason win over the Bills.
Impact Kmet was the only question mark amongst the first-team offense heading into Sunday's dress rehearsal, but he wound up suiting up after working with the training staff pregame. The veteran starter showed no ill effects from the minor back injury he was nursing earlier in camp, ripping off a 29-yard gain with his only touch against Buffalo. Kmet posted a modest 47/474/4 receiving line in 17 games last season, but he will face playing time competition after the Bears drafted TE Colston Loveland with the 10th overall pick.
