Bears tight end Cole Kmet understands why his head coach Ben Johnson pulled the offensive starters off the field on first day of training camp.

Ben Johnson offered evidence there’s action behind his words regarding details and accountability, and the tight end resurfaced in the Chicago Bears passing game during the first training camp practice Wednesday morning.

Eagles tackle Lane Johnson called the NFLPA’s issues “a [poop] show” Wednesday. Kmet was more circumspect, saying that he hoped the union would get its next hire right. Asked whether the public nature of the scandals worsened their impact, Kmet said that was part of life as a football player.

Cole Kmet's wife, Emily, sent a sweet message to him as he prepares for the upcoming NFL season. Kmet started his NFL journey in 2020 after being selected by the Chicago Bears in the second round with the No. 43 pick in the draft and has since been an integral part of the team. He is looking forward to his sixth season with the Bears.

It's a bit of a throwback to the days of the Buddy Ryan era with Dennis Allen's scheme becoming aggressive instead of always sitting back in soft zones.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet has already had three coaches in his NFL career, and he discussed the differences between them.

As soon as the Bears turned in Loveland’s name with the No. 10 overall pick, fans and analysts began drafting Kmet trade packages. Chicago didn’t take the tight end just to keep him off the field.

Kmet remains a key part of Chicago's 12-personnel-heavy offense, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
