Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet spent Thursday's practice running with the ones, with the team in 11-on-11s. The Bears spent the 10th overall pick in the draft on Michigan tight end Colston Loveland (shoulder), who has drawn praise from coaches throughout the start of training camp. However, Kmet is still expected to have a role in Ben Johnson's new look offense, as evidenced by his current spot atop the depth chart. Loveland has been ramping his action up slowly after recovering from offseason surgery to his AC joint, so it's possible he could still claim the starting job by the start of the regular season. Either way, the Bears' offense is ripe with pass-catching options, and it may be difficult to predict where the action will go in any given week, making many of their pieces more appealing in best-ball drafts than lineup leagues..--P.T.
