Being sent to IR
Bears coach Ben Johnson said Friday that Kmet (knee) will be placed on injured reserve, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
With Kmet now on track to miss the rest of the season, per Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago will be without its top blocking tight end after he exited Thursday night's game against the Patriots. His absence should open up more playing time for Sam Roush, but the Bears figure to make a move at the position.
