Cole Kmet Suffers Serious Knee Injury In Victory Over Patriots

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet suffered a serious right knee injury believed to be a season-ending torn ACL midway through the fourth quarter of a 30-24 win over the Patriots. Kmet made three catches for 28 yards before being hit low by defenders and carted off. Coach Ben Johnson expressed pessimism, and quarterback Caleb Williams vowed support. Kmet finishes 2026 with 10 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown over seven games.
