Cole Kmet (knee) returns to Bears practice Thursday
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (knee) returned to practice on Thursday for Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers.
What It Means:
Kmet logged a limited session after sitting out the first practice of the week on Wednesday. He only played 13 snaps and didn't draw any targets in Week 17, but Kmet should be healthier for Sunday's finale. Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis will play fewer snaps if Kmet is more involved against the Packers. Kmet caught 5 passes on 7 targets for 44 yards versus Green Bay in Week 1.
Kmet is the TE7 in numberFire's Week 18 rankings and our models project him for 7.9 FanDuel points, with 6.1 targets, 4.0 receptions, and 41.0 yards. The Packers are allowing the 10th-most FanDuel points per game to tight ends this season (10.0).
