Cole Kmet Puts in Another Limited Practice

Thursday, October 30, 3:41 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (back) was limited on Thursday in practice for the second straight day this week as he tries to make his return in Week 9 versus the Cincinnati Bengals on the road. Kmet appears to be on the right track to returning to action this weekend after missing his first career game in the Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. If the 26-year-old gets the green light to play against the Bengals, it will be bad news for rookie Colston Loveland, who played a season-high 81% of the offensive snaps last Sunday with Kmet out. Even though Loveland has been slow to get going in his first year in the NFL in 2025, Kmet hasn't been much of a factor in the Bears' passing attack, catching nine of his 19 targets for 132 yards and one touchdown over his six starts. At best, Kmet will be a low-upside TE2 streamer if he returns in Week 9.
