A fifth-round draft pick by the Bears won’t play this year due to a “personal” reason.
General manager Ryan Poles revealed Tuesday the team placed cornerback Zah Frazier on the reserve/non-football injury (NFI) list while he has missed all of training camp, according to ESPN .
“A little bit of a complicated deal because he’s going to go on NFI,” Poles said . “He had a situation that presented itself in a category that I would say (is) personal. As we dug into it, tried to help him out, it revealed itself as something that happened before he got here. So, credit to our staff finding the root cause of what he was going through. So, he’ll be down for the year but he’ll spend time going to meetings, in the weight room and the medical staff preparing for next season to get ready to play.”
