With Frazier out, Malik Muhammad, whom the Bears drafted in the second round, enters the spotlight as the team’s primary competition for the outside cornerback spot, alongside Tyrique Stevenson. The coaching staff is optimistic about Muhammad’s coverage skills and his ability to adapt to the coaching style, and Friday marks the first in-person evaluation of his on-field potential. Additional attention will be on UDFA KC Eziomume and other tryout players as the Bears evaluate depth at the position.
Key takeaways:
– Zah Frazier was waived to clear a roster spot and reset the cornerback room.
– Malik Muhammad is positioned to compete for a starting outside cornerback role after the Bears’ draft strategy to upgrade the position.
– The team will also evaluate UDFA signings and tryouts during the minicamp as they shape depth and competition.
