Kmet remains a key part of Chicago's 12-personnel-heavy offense, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

Despite initially being surprised by the Bears' selection of Colston Loveland, Kmet has bought into coach Ben Johnson's plan to use both tight ends. Johnson ran the NFL's third-most plays out of 12 personnel last year, and Kmet is expected to be on the field frequently in those sets. His role as a core piece in two-TE packages should provide limited fantasy viability, as target volume likely remains capped with Loveland expected to be the primary pass catcher.

Williams (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list on Friday, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Williams was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He's expected to switch to guard after playing tackle in college at Cincinnati, though the first step will be for him to get healthy enough to take the field.

Odum (knee) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Friday.

Odum ended the 2024 season on injured reserve and may still be dealing with the injury. He played primarily on special teams prior to being sidelined, and that will likely be his role again in 2025 once he can return to the field.

Bartch (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Friday.

Bartch suffered a high-ankle sprain to end the 2024 season, but it's unclear if that's why he'll start camp sidelined. The 49ers will hope his absence is brief, as he's projected to start at left guard come the regular season.

Robinson (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Friday.

Robinson missed the majority of the 2024 season with a torn ACL, so the issue could still be lingering. If that's the case, he should have the chance to return at some point during training camp, though an exact timeline is unclear.

Gross-Matos (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Friday.

Gross-Matos was sidelined for long stretches of the 2024 season with a knee issue, though he did close the campaign healthy. He'll look to get back on the field early in camp, as he should be in line for a significant role as a pass rusher in 2025.

Dillard (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Friday.

Dillard dealt with a concussion to close the 2024 season, though there's no reason to believe that is a lingering concern. Nevertheless, he'll begin training camp sidelined as he competes for a depth role along the 49ers' offensive line.

Jenkins (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Friday, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Jenkins sat out portions of mandatory minicamp due to a contract dispute. However, the Packers confirmed that Jenkins is dealing with an injury at the start of training camp, though it's unclear what the issue is.

Robinson (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Friday, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Robinson was a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, though he could make the team given Green Bay's lack of depth in the secondary. First, however, he'll need to get healthy and on the practice field.

Oliver (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Friday, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Oliver was selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft despite suffering a foot injury during his final collegiate season. He participated in the combine, so this issue presumably isn't related, though that is still unclear at this point.
