Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet was carted off the field in the fourth quarter after taking a hard hit on an 8-yard reception from Caleb Williams, immediately grabbing his right knee. It was a gut punch for the Bears as Kmet couldn’t put any weight on his right leg, forcing him to leave the game with just 5:34 left in the final quarter.
The Fourth Quarter Scare at Soldier Field
The play that sent Kmet to the sideline came on an 8-yard pass. Linebacker Robert Spillane and cornerback Christian Gonzalez both came in low on the tackle, and Kmet went down hard. You just hate to see it. He grabbed his right knee right away, and it was clear he was in serious pain. The energy at Soldier Field shifted instantly.
Kmet’s Day Ends Early, But Not Before A Thumbs Up
After the tackle, Kmet clearly couldn’t put any weight on that right leg, making a cart necessary to get him off the field. Despite the obvious injury and the pain he was in, he still managed to give a thumbs up to the Soldier Field crowd as he headed to the training room. That’s a tough dude right there. For the game, Kmet had caught three passes for 28 yards before the injury. The Bears quickly ruled him out for the remainder of the contest.
