Bears tight end Cole Kmet left practice early with an injury, though the initial indication appeared to be that it was minor, a source said.

Coach Ben Johnson said this week Kmet is one of his most trusted skill players on offense and has been using him all over formations.

“He’s a little bit of a unicorn,” Johnson said. “You can move him around quite a bit. The beauty of having him outside the numbers is if you get him matched up on a safety or a linebacker, then that’s going to be a favor for us.
