Cole Kmet (knee) is out for the season with a knee injury, HC Ben Johnson confirmed on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Kmet was scheduled to undergo testing on his injured knee and it revealed what many suspected, a season ending injury,m. What injury he has exactly we don’t know, but it’s sounding like it will be a long road to recovery for the Bears tight end. Colston Loveland will maintain his prominent role, and Sam Roush will see additional snaps in his absence.
Cole Kmet (knee) is believed to have suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Bears Thursday night win over the Patriots. He will undergo an MRI today to determine the full severity.
Fantasy Impact
Kmet had some nice involvement in this game before going down due to injury, and it’s now especially unfortunate that he is expected to have this absence extend for the rest of the season. Colston Loveland will see more work for sure, but don’t count out Sam Roush, who should also see more snaps.
