The Bears drafted tight end Colston Loveland with plans he’d play alongside veteran Cole Kmet, at least this year.
Kmet didn’t practice all week because of a back injury he suffered last week against the Saints, though, leaving the No. 10 overall pick to go it alone against the Ravens on Sunday.
It could be a glimpse of the Bears’ future — Kmet, who has never missed a game as a pro, could be dropped this offseason with a $3.2 million dead cap hit. The Bears’ comfort level in doing that, though, relies in part on how well-rounded Loveland can become.
