Bears WR Rome Odunze pays tribute to Cole Kmet after TD vs. Buccaneers

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet may be out of action, but his teammates are making sure he's on their mind during games. The Bears are taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football at Soldier Field in Week 9, their second game since Kmet suffered a season-ending knee injury. And wide receiver Rome Odunze made sure to let him know they're still thinking about the veteran tight end.

On the opening possession of the game, quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense drove down the field with ease. The 10-play drive culminated with a strike to Odunze in the end zone, who scored his first touchdown of the season. And for his touchdown dance, he performed Kmet's signature home run celebration with a message. "Cole! Like I said, we love you boy!"

Kmet suffered a season-ending knee injury during the Bears' 30-24 win over the New England Patriots. A 2020 second-round pick, he's the longest-tenured player and one of the unsung leaders on the team. Kmet's presence, both on and off the field, is clearly missed, and Odunze made sure to let the world know. And Kmet seemed to appreciate the gesture. "Rome's been getting in the batting cage!" he said on Instagram.
