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.
