Kmet caught one of two targets for three yards in Saturday's preseason win over Miami.
The Bears opened in a two-WR, two-TE formation with Kmet, TE Jimmy Graham, RB David Montgomery, WR Darnell Mooney and WR Damiere Byrd. It should be a common look for them this season, albeit with Allen Robinson instead of Byrd in the WR1 spot. The team's decision to retain Graham put a major ding in Kmet's breakout case, but the 2020 second-round pick still has a chance to take a big step forward, playing in an offense that's doesn't have much at wide receiver behind Robinson/Mooney. In fact, Kmet accounted for two of Andy Dalton's four passes Saturday afternoon, while rookie QB Justin Fields mostly threw to his WRs and RBs. The Bears' next preseason game is Aug. 21 against Buffalo, and their regular-season opener is Sept. 12 at the Rams.
