Chicago Bears rookie Zah Frazier will miss the 2025 season after being placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list. Poles framed the move as a complex, personal situation uncovered before he arrived, with the team aiming to get him on the right path through meetings, weight room work, and medical staff guidance. The absence creates a clear ripple in Chicago’s 2025 depth chart, elevating current pass-catchers and forcing roster-time decisions as Frazier focuses on a 2026 return.

Frazier, a 6'3" prospect with length and speed, won’t crack the 53-man roster in 2024 but remains a future tool for the Bears. Fantasy players should watch how Chicago allocates targets in his absence and consider his long-term upside in dynasty leagues, where a healthy comeback in 2026 could restore a dynamic outside option for fields and rookie development trajectories.
