Cole Kmet

Cole Kmet will play when the Bears take on the Falcons at Soldier Field, but running back D’Onta Foreman will not. There was some question about whether or not Kmet would be healthy enough to play on Sunday, due to a knee injury that kept him out of Wednesday and Thursday’s practice. Foreman is officially a healthy scratch, which...

The Bears shared a mix of good news and bad news in their first injury report of the week. Let’s start with the bad: tight end Cole Kmet (knee), center Lucas Patrick (knee) and wide receiver Darnell Mooney (concussion) all did not participate in practice on Wednesday. But left guard Teven Jenkins (concussion), running back D’Onta Foreman (personal), wide...

Tight end Cole Kmet (knee) and left guard Teven Jenkins (concussion) are each still hurt as the Bears begin their preparations to take on the Falcons this Sunday. Further, head coach Matt Eberflus announced that wide receiver Darnell Mooney is now in the concussion protocol despite exiting Sunday’s game without any symptoms. Lucas Patrick also popped up with a...

The Chicago Bears got off to a flying start in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints, and their tight end Cole Kmet played a pivotal role in that endeavor.

The Bears, and then general manager Ryan Pace, drafted Cole Kmet with the No. 43 pick in the NFL draft. They selected the Notre Dame product early in the second round to become the next-up tight end in the organization. Where did he think he was going to be taken on draft night? It wasn’t the Chicago Bears, that’s...

Against the Broncos last Sunday, Cole Kmet scored two touchdowns on passes from Justin Fields. On one of the plays, he ran a beautiful fly route, casting a wide open net for Fields to throw to him. Fields delivered, and in a swift motion, Kmet and two sideline workers executed an insanely well-timed celebration. Check out the video. Immediately, Kmet…

Early this summer, when we got our first look at Chase Claypool in Bears practice, it became clear that Claypool brought a lot of passion to the field. He was extremely competitive and talked a ton of trash. When channeled properly that type of energy can fuel tough practices where iron sharpens iron and all those football clichés you’ve...

The Bears’ decision to go for it on a critical fourth-and-1 against the Broncos was universally supported in the locker room despite the outcome. The play call, however, is a different story.

The Bears had no answers after a 41-10 drubbing at the hands of the Chiefs. There were no catchy lines, fiery pep talks, or easily identifiable solutions — just eyes searching the nothingness for answers that won’t come,

Chase Claypool, without question, loaded around on Sunday against the Packers. He missed blocks, he lacked effort and he offered zero contributions to the offense. Considering the Bears traded the No. 32 pick in the previous NFL draft for his services, the outcome was very disappointing. The Bears, however, have not lost faith in him, including his former teammate from…

It’s Packers week, and the Bears know it. Much has been made of the opportunity for the team to take control of the rivalry again now that Aaron Rodgers is in New York, and the team hasn’t shied away from the rhetoric. “I would say whoever was playing quarterback there, that was going to be the mindset,” said GM...

After days and days of injuries piling up for the Bears in the latter stages of training camp, the team finally started moving in the right direction on Thursday. The Bears finished practice on Wednesday with 21 players standing on the sidelines, not participating in drills. One day later that number was down to 16, with several big name guys…

The Bears offense had the at the 50 yard line with about a minute to go and one time to close out Tuesday’s practice at training camp. The situation: find a way to score. Things started poorly. Cole Kmet appeared to have a big gain to kick things off, but he was flagged for offensive pass interference against Adrian Colbert….

Cole Kmet got a call 20 minutes before the first Bears practice of training camp began. It was his agent and he had good news. Kmet was getting a contract extension from GM Ryan Poles. The first emotion Kmet felt: relief. “The last few days have been pretty hectic kind of figuring out, not really knowing where it was going…

The Chicago Bears have reached an agreement with Cole Kmet for a contract extension, Matt Eberflus confirmed to the media on Wednesday. Adam Schefter was the first to report the details. The 4-year deal worth $50 million deal includes $32.8 million guaranteed and $20 million in new first-year cash, via the report. He is now tied-ninth with Hunter Henry for…

When Ryan Poles took over as Bears GM in January 2022 he wasted no time tearing down the roster. Things began with the Khalil Mack trade, various cuts and culminated in the Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith trades. By the end of the team’s first season under Poles, the Bears had nearly stripped the roster down to the studs, fell…
