    Bears' Cole Kmet: Listed as co-starter entering Year 7

    Cole Kmet is listed as a starting tight end along with Colston Loveland on the Chicago Bears' unofficial depth chart heading into the Sept. 13 season opener versus the Panthers.The Bears make ample use of 12- and 13-personnel groupings that will allow Kmet and Loveland to frequently share the field together, but Loveland remains the clear top receiving option of the two and will be a featured part of the passing game. Kmet, meanwhile, will function primarily as a blocker, though he's not a total non-entity as a receiver. The 27-year-old churned out a career-best 73-719-6 receiving line on 90 targets in 2023, though Kmet's production has fallen off precipitously over the past two seasons. That trend may only continue into 2026 while Loveland preps for a heightened role after he was more of a part-time player for the first half of his rookie campaign.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Low-volume role continues

    Cole Kmet caught two of three targets for 16 yards in the Chicago Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.Kmet finished the regular season with 30 receptions (on 48 targets) for 347 yards and two touchdowns while catching two or fewer passes in all but three games. He was held under 20 receiving yards nine times and frequently operated as a blocker in two-tight-end sets alongside rookie first-round pick Colston Loveland. Kmet is signed with Chicago through 2027 but projects as a low-ceiling fantasy option if his usage remains unchanged.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Low-volume role persists

    Cole Kmet caught both targets for 16 yards in the Chicago Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.Kmet has caught two or three passes in five straight contests, including two targets in this game while operating behind Colston Loveland. After posting between 28 and 45 receiving yards in four of those games, he has been held to 16 yards or fewer in his last two. The limited target volume keeps him confined to deep-league tight end consideration.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Low-volume usage persists

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Questonable for Week 16

    Cole Kmet (ankle/knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Packers.Kmet was limited during Tuesday's walk-through practice and during Wednesday's session, but after logging a full practice Thursday, he said afterward that he plans to play Saturday, per Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network. That said, official word on Kmet's status may not arrive until the Chicago Bears release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. If he suits up against Green Bay, Kmet will contribute at tight end alongside rookie Colston Loveland.

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Limited to kick off Week 16 prep

He'll have two more practices to prove his health in advance of this Saturday's game against the Packers, but the fact that he's being listed as limited rather than a non-participant on the Chicago Bears' initial Week 16 report suggests he's on track to play.
