Chicago Bears Waive 2025 Fifth-Round Pick Zah Frazier without Appearing in a Game
The 2025 fifth-round pick missed his entire rookie season after a personal issue and was limited to classroom and weight room work, Ryan Poles said.
- On Thursday, the Bears waived cornerback Zah Frazier, a 2025 fifth-round pick who missed his entire rookie season due to "personal" reasons.
- Bears general manager Ryan Poles revealed in August 2025 that Frazier was placed on the non-football injury list after discovering a "personal" situation predating his arrival in Chicago.
- Poles noted in January 2026 that Frazier had a "mountain to climb" to contribute after missing his entire first season, adding that he needed to play to rebuild his position.
- Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad, drafted in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, now faces less competition for a rotational spot following Frazier's departure from the cornerback room.
- Rookie minicamp begins Friday at Halas Hall, where the Bears will evaluate their secondary options; Frazier would have been eligible to participate had he remained on the roster.
