Bears GM Gives Cryptic Explanation for Draft Pick Missing His Rookie Season

The Chicago Bears will be without the services of their most recent fifth-round draft pick for the entire season, general manager Ryan Poles told reporters on Tuesday. Zah Frazier, a cornerback out of UTSA, was placed on the non-football injury list on Monday and hasn't practiced since May.

"He had a situation that presented itself in a category that I would say [is] 'personal,'" Poles said. "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. He'll be down for the year but he'll spend the time going to meetings, in the weight room and with the medical staff preparing for next season to get ready to play.
