    Cole Kmet.

    Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has been wearing many hats against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

    On a 1st-and-10 at Jacksonville's 31-yard line, Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw a touchdown to Kmet early in the second quarter. On the next play, Kmet served as the team's long snapper, and Bears kicker Cairo Santos made the extra-point attempt, giving them a 7-3 lead.

    For those wondering why Kmet was snapping the ball, Chicago starting long snapper Scott Daly suffered a knee injury in the first quarter. The Bears confirmed he will miss the rest of the game.

    Kmet showing he can be a competent long snapper alleviates the Bears' potential concerns about extra-point and field-goal attempts.

    Kmet caught another TD pass with 0:13 left in the second quarter, giving Chicago a 14-3 lead before halftime. He had four receptions for 43 yards and two TD catches in the first half.

    Clearly, the fifth-year TE is doing it all for the Bears (3-2).
