Misses second straight practice Kmet (groin) didn't participate in Friday's practice.

Impact Kmet missed a practice last week with a groin injury and was ultimately active for the Week 9 loss to Tennessee, but his status is uncertain again after a second straight missed practice. The rookie second-rounder needs to get on the field in some capacity Saturday to have a shot at playing in Monday's divisional clash against the Vikings. Demetrius Harris and J.P. Holtz both stand to see increased usage behind starter Jimmy Graham if Kmet is forced to miss Week 10.

Held out Thursday Kmet (groin) did not participate during the Bears' practice session Thursday.

Impact The second-round rookie had been dealing with a groin issue entering Chicago's Week 9 matchup against Tennesee, but he was ultimately able to suit up and field a season-high 36 offensive snaps during the contest. Kmet was not reported as having aggravated the groin injury postgame, but the issue continues to linger and has resultantly docked his practice involvement. Behind starter Jimmy Graham, longtime Chief Demetrius Harris would receive additional tight end snaps if Kmet is unable to go for Monday night's home game against Minnesota.

Active against Titans Kmet (groin) is active Week 9 against Tennessee.

Impact Kmet's absence from Thursday's practice ultimately won't affect his gameday status, as the tight end will suit up in his usual regular capacity behind Jimmy Graham. He hasn't been much of a fantasy factor this year outside of a touchdown caught Week 6 against Carolina, as he's gone without a catch in four of the eight games he's played.

Questionable for Sunday Kmet (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact The rookie second-round pick was added to the injury report Thursday as a nonparticipant, but he returned to practice Friday in a limited fashion. Demetrius Harris and J.P. Holtz would be in line for increased reps behind Jimmy Graham should Kmet be sidelined Sunday.

Tending to groin injury Kmet (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

Impact Kmet wasn't among the Bears' injured players Wednesday, so this 'DNP' is cause for concern with regard to his ability to suit up Sunday at Tennessee. If he's unable to go, any lingering TE reps behind Jimmy Graham will filter down to Demetrius Harris and J.P. Holtz.

One catch in OT loss to Saints Kmet corralled his only target for two yards during Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to New Orleans.

Impact Kmet dealt with a back injury and was reported as a limited participant in practice for the first time all season last Wednesday. The second-round rookie was able to recover with a full session the following day, ultimately recording his eighth appearance of 2020 on Sunday against New Orleans. Despite him fielding a season-high 30 offensive snaps in the contest, Kmet's production against the Saints was a far cry from the four catches, 65 yards and one touchdown he produced the preceding two outings.

Puts in full practice Thursday Kmet (back) practiced in full Thursday.

Impact Kmet has consistently played around 30 percent of the snaps on offense each week this season, but the rookie second-rounder only recently has been making an impact in the box score, gathering in all four targets for 65 yards and a TD over the last two games. He kicked off this week with a limited showing Wednesday but bucked the back injury on the second Week 8 practice report. While he'll continue to play second fiddle to starting TE Jimmy Graham, Kmet seems to be developing a rapport with starting quarterback Nick Foles.

Managing back injury Kmet (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Kmet is coming off the best game of his young career, having hauled in both his targets for 45 yards during Monday's loss to the Rams, but he appears to have also injured his back in the contest. The rookie tight end will work to resume practicing in full ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Saints.

Posts solid yardage Kmet caught two passes for 45 yards in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.

Impact Kmet was targeted just twice, which placed him third in targets among the Bears' tight ends. However, he hauled in a downfield pass for 38 yards, and he ended up posting the second-highest yardage total on the team. Although his production has been decent in each of the last two games, he'll be tough to trust as a fantasy option until he starts averaging more than two targets per contest.

Scores first career touchdown Kmet caught two passes for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 23-16 victory over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Kmet got open between three defenders while catching a perfect pass from Nick Foles to score his first NFL touchdown, but the two targets he received equaled the total number of looks he had seen over the first four games. Until he sees a consistent increase in targets, his fantasy value will remain minimal.
