Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate): #Bears TE Cole Kmet is down with what looks like a serious knee/leg injury. The cart is coming out.
Kmet did not appear to put weight on his right leg as the cart arrived. That observation does not establish a diagnosis, and the team had not confirmed the injury's severity in the sourced updates.
The Bears gathered around Kmet before he left the field, and he gave a thumbs-up to the crowd. Chicago's in-game status designation or postgame assessment should provide the next concrete update. A departure by cart alone cannot establish how long Kmet might be unavailable.
