Matt Nagy: Jimmy Graham’s playing time depends on matchups

Tight end Jimmy Graham went without a target for the first time in his Bears career Sunday, the latest sign his playing time will look different than it did last season.

Sunday, he played 22 snaps — or 34% of the time. In Week 1, he played 14 snaps — or 22% of the time.

Second-year tight end Cole Kmet played 51 and 47 snaps, respectively.

Monday, coach Matt Nagy Nagy acknowledged that Graham figures to sit in favor of Kmet when the Bears are in “11” personnel — in which the team uses one tight end and one running back.
