Bears' Cole Kmet Likely Facing Season-Ending Knee Injury After Being Carted Off
Chicago must replace a veteran pass catcher after a likely season-ending ACL tear and weigh trades or signings before the Nov. 10 deadline.
- On Friday, the Chicago Bears placed tight end Cole Kmet on injured reserve after he suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Thursday's 30-24 victory over the New England Patriots.
- Late in the fourth quarter, Kmet caught a nine-yard pass along the Bears sidelines at Soldier Field when two New England Patriots defenders hit him as he churned upfield.
- "Kmet is a big part of our heartbeat," head coach Ben Johnson said Friday, confirming the severity as shocked teammates gathered around him before he was carted off.
- Pass-Rusher Montez Sweat rejoined the active 53-man roster Friday evening after completing his two-game suspension, filling the vacant spot left by Kmet's removal.
- Rookie tight end Sam Roush, with three catches for 33 yards, now faces increased pressure to fill the void, though the team may promote veteran Stephen Carlson from the practice squad.
