CINCINNATI — Bears tight end Cole Kmet left the game in the second quarter Sunday after being hit following his 10-yard reception. He is being evaluated for a concussion.

Kmet caught Caleb Williams’ third down throw, which was high, and was hit by Bengals linebacker Barrett Carter as he fell to the ground. Kmet went immediately to the blue injury tent and then, after a lengthy stay, to the locker room.

Kmet hurt his back in Week 7 against the Saints and missed the Ravens game. It was the first time in his NFL career he had to miss a game.
