It looks like one of Chicago’s key offensive players won’t be able to return this year.
Tight end Cole Kmet suffered a serious, potentially season-ending knee injury during Thursday’s win over the Patriots, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
But Kmet is still undergoing tests and this diagnosis is not yet definitive.
Kmet fell and was carried off the field during the fourth quarter of the game. He immediately grabbed his right knee after a play where he caught a pass and was tackled low.
Head coach Ben Johnson told reporters after the game that the injury didn’t look good.
In his seventh season, Kmet recorded 10 catches for 87 yards with one touchdown in seven games with three starts in 2026.
