During a game against the Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears’ tight end Cole Kmet suffered a significant injury. Kmet, who was delivering a career-best performance, encountered this setback in the second quarter of the game.

The exact moment of the injury remains unclear, but signs of distress were evident when Kmet appeared slow to rise after catching a 29-yard pass from quarterback Justin Fields. Initially, he was listed as questionable to return, but his status was later downgraded to doubtful at the start of the third quarter​​.

Interestingly, Kmet entered this game already nursing a quad injury but was expected to play. His presence on the field was considered vital for the Bears’ offense, given his strong performance throughout the season. Kmet, having caught 66 passes for 571 yards and six touchdowns before this game, was close to setting new personal records in receptions and touchdowns​​.
