Overview
- The team announced Thursday it waived cornerback Zah Frazier, a 2025 fifth-round pick who never played a snap for Chicago.
- Frazier missed all of 2025 for personal reasons and spent the year on the non-football injury list, which covers issues not caused by team activities.
- In January, general manager Ryan Poles said the lost year left Frazier with "a mountain to climb" to compete in 2026.
- Chicago traded up to draft Texas corner Malik Muhammad in the fourth round, and the move likely opens more reps for the rookie when minicamp starts Friday.
- The UTSA product was the 169th pick in 2025 and now must seek a chance with another team, with no further details shared about his personal matter.
