The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a Christmas Eve showdown against the Arizona Cardinals, where there are some notable updates about the statuses of two important offensive contributors.
Tight end Cole Kmet has been battling a quad injury this week, and he was dubbed questionable for Sunday. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Kmet is expected to play against the Cardinals, giving quarterback Justin Fields one of his most dependable weapons.
Unfortunately, the Bears will be without running back D’Onta Foreman, who’s been dealing with a personal matter this week. Foreman has established himself as Chicago’s top running back this season, and the offense will certainly miss him. Luckily, they’ve got two capable backs in Khalil Herbert and rookie Roschon Johnson to shoulder the load.
The #Bears are expected to have TE Cole Kmet, who is questionable with a quad injury, for today's game, source said.
Meanwhile, RB D'Onta Foreman (personal matter) is expected to be out.
