Chicago loses Kmet's blocking for the rest of the season, weakening the two-tight-end packages Ben Johnson uses to help the running game and protect Caleb Williams. Sam Roush will have to take more of the blocking workload alongside Colston Loveland.
Chicago turned to Tyrique Stevenson after Muhammad left the game. A longer absence would shrink the Bears' cornerback rotation and make it harder to shift coverage responsibilities between the slot and outside.
Chicago is without its starting middle linebacker and Jack Sanborn against New England. Noah Sewell and Keyshaun Elliott must help cover inside linebacker responsibilities, leaving the Bears thinner against the run and on short throws to the middle of the field.
Coach Ben Johnson confirmed Friday that Cole Kmet will miss the remainder of the 2026 season with a right knee injury and will be placed on injured reserve.
Cole Kmet injured his right knee during Thursday's game against New England, was carted off the field and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Malik Muhammad left Thursday's game against New England with a toe injury and was announced as doubtful to return.
