- Poles confirmed Tuesday that fifth-round pick Zah Frazier will miss the entire season after being placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Monday.
- Frazier missed all of training camp with what the team described as a personal issue, though he will stay in meetings, the weight room and under medical supervision.
- The 24-year-old UTSA product is a 6-foot-3 corner with 4.36 speed who logged six interceptions and 15 pass breakups in 2024 college play.
- Chicago’s cornerback depth has tightened with 2023 draft pick Terell Smith on injured reserve due to a season-ending knee injury.
- The Bears activated Pro Bowler Jaylon Johnson from the active/NFI list with Week 1 as the aim, kept six corners on the initial 53 (Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Tyrique Stevenson, Nahshon Wright, Nick McCloud, Josh Blackwell), and could explore waiver or free-agent depth options.
