Ben Johnson on Cole Kmet's season-ending knee injury: "He's one of my favorites for a number of reasons, but, you know, I still remember him at the combine coming out, and how much I love him and that slight interaction that we had there and to be able to be in the same building with him for the last year and a half, I've got so much respect for the player that he is, but also for the person, the leader. He's everything that we want to be about here. He's one of the glue guys. He's a guy that I can count on whether it's a messaging standpoint or to get the pulse of the team. He's going to be sorely missed. I think, he's Chicago, you know. He's been here his whole life and he's a big part of our heartbeat. It stinks. It does. I hate it for him. I hate it for his teammates as well, and yet the train keeps rolling on. Someone else needs to step up. Fortunately, you know, we talked about this last week. Just our practice squad, the way they have been developing, the way they have been working, I think we have some good options here on this roster, so, yeah, we're going to miss him."
