Photo Essay: A Look Back at a Packers vs. Bears Game for the Ages

Practices in full Wednesday Homer (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Homer missed Week 15 and was limited in practice Tuesday, but it looks like he's ready to rock for Saturday's divisional matchup against the Packers. Expect Homer to resume contributing on special teams and providing backfield depth Week 16.

Limited to open Week 16 prep Homer (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact Homer picked up an ankle injury during the Bears' Week 14 loss to the Packers, which prevented him from playing in Sunday's win over the Browns. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and give himself a chance to return for Saturday's NFC North tilt against Green Bay. When healthy, Homer has mostly contributed on special teams while providing backfield depth behind D'Andre Swift and rookie seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai.

DECEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 15 Homer (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

Impact Despite upgrading from a DNP on Thursday to limited practice Friday, Homer won't be available for Sunday's contest. The 27-year-old is now in line to miss his seventh game of the season. With Homer ruled out, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are currently the only running backs on the Bears' active roster without an injury designation for the Week 15 matchup.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice again Homer (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact This marks Homer's second consecutive absence from practice as he deals with an ankle issue he picked up in the Bears' Week 14 loss to the Packers. The special teamer has one more chance to upgrade his practice participation before Sunday's game against the Browns, and will likely need to show some improvement to suit up for the game.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing ankle injury Homer (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Homer likely picked up the injury during the Bears' Week 14 loss to the Packers, when he logged 16 snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise. He'll need to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a realistic shot at playing Sunday against the Browns.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Contained to special teams Sunday Homer logged all 16 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.

Impact Since sitting out a Week 12 win over the Steelers with hamstring and knee injuries, Homer has returned to his usual role on special teams. Homer is the Bears' No. 3 running back, but Chicago won't be compelled to give him snaps on offense outside of garbage time while both D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are healthy.

DECEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Homer missed Sunday's game versus the Steelers with a pair of injuries, but he didn't have any limitations during Chicago's walk-thru practice Tuesday. Barring any downgrade to his status Wednesday or Thursday, he should be able to suit up and mix in on special teams in Week 13.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 12 Homer (hamstring/knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Impact The Miami product downgraded from limited practice Wednesday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he won't play in the Week 12 matchup. Homer has appeared in five games this season, contributing primarily on special teams (six offensive snaps, 86 special-teams snaps). With Homer and Roschon Johnson (thumb) both out Sunday, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are currently the only healthy running backs on Chicago's active roster.

NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Thursday Homer (hamstring/knee) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Homer was limited in practice Wednesday, but he's now taken a step in the wrong direction for Week 12. Roschon Johnson (thumb) also missed practice Thursday, though backfield leaders D'Andre Swift (hip) and Kyle Monangai were both full participants ahead of Sunday's home game against the Steelers.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring issue Homer (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Homer got his first carry of the year in Week 11 at Minnesota, but he's now banged up to begin Chicago's new week of preparation. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to full participation at practice before the Bears release their last practice report of the week Friday.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

One offensive touch in win Homer rushed once for negative two yards in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Homer's lone touch was his first offensive snap contribution of the 2025 season, as he's been used almost exclusively on special teams. Unless Chicago's backfield suffers multiple injuries, his offensive involvement will remain minimal and offer little standalone fantasy value.

Good to go against New Orleans Homer (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Homer was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the 2019 sixth-rounder has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut after fully recovering from a calf injury. With lead back D'Andre Swift (groin) cleared to play Sunday, Homer will likely see most of his work on special teams while Roschon Johnson and Kyle Monangai provide rotational depth out of the backfield.

Taken off injured reserve The Bears reinstated Homer (calf) from injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Homer opened the season on injured reserve due to a calf injury he sustained during the preseason in August. He was a full participant in practice over the past two weeks, and his reinstatement from IR indicates that he is on track to play against the Saints on Sunday. With D'Andre Swift (groin) expected to play Sunday and Roschon Johnson and Kyle Monangai slated to serve in reserve roles out of the backfield, Homer will likely see most of his playing time on special teams.

Taken off injured reserve The Bears activated Homer (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Homer opened the season on injured reserve due to a calf injury he sustained during the preseason in August. He was a full participant in practice over the past two weeks, and his activation from IR indicates that he's on track for his season debut Sunday. With D'Andre Swift (groin) expected to play Sunday and Kyle Monangai and Roschon Johnson slated to serve in reserve roles out of the backfield, Homer likely will see most of his playing time on special teams.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable but still on IR Homer (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Homer remains on injured reserve, so Chicago would have to make an official move adding him back to the active roster for Homer to be eligible to play Sunday. He logged three full practices during the week, so Homer may actually be healthier than lead back D'Andre Swift (groin), who is listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Homer (calf) practiced in full Wednesday.

Impact Homer practiced in full for the entire week leading up to Monday night's win over the Commanders, but he remained on injured reserve. It's unclear whether he'll be in line to return in Week 7 against the Saints, though his continued full practice participation is a positive sign.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out for MNF Homer (calf) was downgraded to out for Monday night's game against the Commanders.

Impact Homer's season debut will have to wait at least another week, as his next chance to suit up will be Sunday against the Saints. Homer will likely contribute mainly on special teams when he does return to action.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Monday Homer (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Homer started the season on injured reserve due to a calf injury that he suffered in preseason action in August. He was a full participant in practice this past week, but he would need to be activated from IR in order to have a chance at playing in Washington on Monday. Once he's cleared to return, Homer could be deployed on special teams as a returner while providing depth in the Bears' backfield.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Gets in full practice Homer (calf) logged a full practice Thursday.

Impact Homer remains on injured reserve but was designated for return earlier this week, opening his 21-day practice window. Homer doesn't have much of an offensive role in Chicago when healthy.
