Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet said he was "Just a little banged up," and that the injury he suffered during the team's Week 10 game against the Detroit Lions was "overall nothing serious."
Kmet collided with Lions defender Jeff Okudah in the final minutes of the Bears' Week 10 loss and was unable to finish out the game, but the third-year tight did not seem particularly concerned about his injury after the game. Kmet was having another strong outing before the injury knocked him out of the game, catching a deep bomb from Justin Fields for a 50-yard touchdown (his second score of the day) and leading the team with 74 receiving yards.
With another two-score game in the books, Kmet is now up to five touchdowns in his last three games. The Bears' offense has appeared to turn a corner over those three games, and Kmet has been the primary beneficiary, drawing 6 and 7 targets in Weeks 9 and 10 respectively. Assuming he is healthy in Week 11, he could be a solid waiver wire addition at the always-thin tight end position.
