Cole Kmet Retains Primary Tight End Role Despite Sam Roush Addition

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet remains the team's definitive starter at the position despite the recent addition of Sam Roush. Although the drafting of Roush sparked speculation regarding Kmet's long-term future, similar to when Colston Loveland joined the roster, Roush is not currently viewed as a replacement. Kmet continues to lead the unit as the Bears integrate younger talent, maintaining his status as a key target in the offense while the team develops its depth.
