Cole Kmet (knee) kept out again Thursday for Bears
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (knee) did not practice on Thursday for Week 17 versus the Atlanta Falcons.
Kmet was also held out on Wednesday due to a knee injury he suffered in the Bears' win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16. He will have one more chance to practice before the Bears square off with the Falcons on Sunday. Marcedes Lewis, who was held out Thursday for rest, and Robert Tonyan will play more snaps if Kmet is unavailable. D.J. Moore would also have access to additional targets.
Kmet has a 20.0 percent target share this season, second-highest on the Bears behind Moore (27.1). The Falcons are allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to tight ends, so it will be a plus matchup for Kmet or Lewis and Tonyan.
