Reed signed a reserve/future contract with the Bears on Monday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
Reed signed with Chicago as an undrafted free agent out of Western Kentucky, but he was unable to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster. Instead, he spent the past season on the Bears' practice squad. He'll now have another chance to earn a spot with Chicago in 2025.

Austin Reed: Intends to sign with Chicago
Rotowire
Reed is slated to sign with the Bears as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Reed (6-foot-2, 220 pounds) had a borderline late-round/UDFA draft grade by most analysts, but the sixth-year senior out of Western Kentucky ultimately didn't have his name called Saturday afternoon and will head to Chicago, where he'll slide in on the depth chart behind No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent and Brett Rypien. Reed completed 63.2 percent of his college throws for 8,086 yards, 71 touchdowns and 22 interceptions.
