Chicago Bears 2024 Cap Casualties: RB Travis Homer We break down whether or not the Chicago Bears should keep running back Travis Homer or cut him to save some money.

JANUARY 28, 2024 • 247SPORTS.COM

Concludes first season in Chicago Homer played 17 snaps on special teams in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact After signing a two-year deal with Chicago entering the season, Homer was a core special-teams player who was only used on six offensive snaps in 16 games played. Going into the final year of his contract, the five-year veteran could be in a similar role next season.

Will play Sunday Homer (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Cardinals.

Impact Homer closed the week with back-to-back limited practices, setting the stage for him to be able to suit up against Arizona. With D'Onta Foreman (personal) inactive, the 25-year-old could see some extra work in the Bears' backfield.

Makes return to lineup Homer failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 30-12 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact Even with the Bears playing without Khalil Herbert (IR, ankle) and Roschon Johnson (concussion), Homer played behind Darrynton Evans for change-of-pace duties. It seems likely Homer will contribute on special teams more than he will on offense, as he's yet to have an offensive touch in six games played.

Upgrades to full practice Homer (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

Impact Homer thus stands to return this Sunday against Las Vegas after missing one game with a hamstring injury. He should get some work on passing downs, if nothing else, rejoining a backfield that featured D'Onta Foreman and Darrynton Evans in a Week 6 loss to Minnesota. Roschon Johnson (concussion) missed another practice Thursday, and Khalil Herbert (ankle) is out for at least three more games on injured reserve.

Limited in practice Homer (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact The return to practice gives him some shot to play this Sunday against the Raiders after missing Week 6, but Homer likely would get most of his work on passing downs even with Khalil Herbert (ankle) on injured reserve and Roschon Johnson (concussion) looking uncertain to be available this week. D'Onta Foreman and Darrynton Evans handled all the backfield snaps in this past Sunday's loss to Minnesota while Herbert, Johnson and Homer were out.

Heading to Chicago Homer (ankle) has agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth a maximum of $4.5 million with the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The Bears are looking to add running back depth behind Khalil Herbert after losing David Montgomery to the Lions in free agency. Homer spent his first four seasons with the Seahawks and contributed as backfield depth and as a core special teamer. He accumulated 114 rushing yards on 18 carries to go along with 56 receiving yards on 11 receptions across 16 games last season.

Shifts to IR Homer (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Impact Homer wasn't expected to play Week 18, but this move now means that the 24-year-old wouldn't be able to return unless the Seahawks make it to the Super Bowl. Expect Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas to carry the load in a Week 18 matchup against the Rams.

Seahawks Place RB Travis Homer on IR, Make 3 Roster Moves Before Rams The Seattle Seahawks are busy making roster moves ahead of Sunday’s must-win game against the Los Angeles Rams.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • SACBEE.COM

Likely to sit out Week 18 Homer (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Barring some dramatic improvement in his recovery from the ankle sprain leading up to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Homer will sit out a critical regular-season finale for the Seahawks, who can punch their ticket to the postseason with a win plus a Green Bay loss to Detroit later Sunday. Assuming Homer ends up being inactive for Week 18, the Seahawks will likely turn to DeeJay Dallas to serve as the top change-of-pace option behind lead back Kenneth Walker.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still no activity at practice Homer (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Homer is seeking to end his DNP streak at one game, but a sprained ankle hasn't allowed him to practice since Week 16 prep. Fellow running backs Kenneth Walker (ankle/illness) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday, so the state of the position group remains up in the air in the midst of Week 18 prep. If Walker is able to play Sunday against the Rams, he likely would be the Seahawks' primary backfield option, which would leave some snaps and touches for whoever among Homer and Dallas are available. In the end, Homer's status could receive some clarity, one way or another, upon the release of Friday's injury report.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

No practice reps Wednesday Homer (ankle) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Homer sprained his ankle Week 16 at Kansas City, which kept him out of on-field work last week and eventually resulted in an inactive status this past Sunday versus the Jets. With no practice reps evident since suffering the injury, he doesn't appear to be in a great spot to play Week 18 against the Rams. Still, because head coach Pete Carroll told John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site on Monday that Homer may be able to return for Sunday's game, the running back's status will be one to watch as the week goes on. Notably, position mates Kenneth Walker (ankle/illness) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also sat out Wednesday, so the team's backfield again is in flux.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Sunday Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Travis Homer (ankle) could return Week 18 against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Homer suffered the injury Week 16 against the Chiefs and he was unable to suit up in Sunday's win over the Jets. His ability to return would certainly be a boost to the Seahawks' depth at running back in Sunday's pivotal game against the Rams, which they need to win to have a chance to earn a playoff spot.

JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Sunday Homer (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Jets.

Impact Homer was forced out Week 16 in Kansas City with what was eventually termed an ankle sprain, which didn't allow him to practice during Week 17 prep. With his status confirmed, he won't be an option to get touches behind the Seahawks' top running back Kenneth Walker (ankle). Instead, DeeJay Dallas is the likeliest candidate to earn complementary snaps while Walker gets the bulk of the workload.

JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play this week Homer (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Impact Starter Kenneth Walker (ankle) is also listed as questionable but expected to play, while DeeJay Dallas (ankle) has been removed from the final injury report. Homer could take the passing-down-job back from Dallas if he's able to play this Sunday after spraining his ankle in the first quarter of a loss to the Chiefs last week. Dallas ended up catching six passes, while Homer tends to do more blocking when he handles the third-down work.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

DNP on Thursday Homer (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Homer picked up a sprained ankle this past Saturday at Kansas City and has yet to practice this week as a result of the injury. Meanwhile, the Seahawks' No. 1 running back Kenneth Walker (ankle) followed up Wednesday's DNP with a limited session one day later, and fellow reserve RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) continued to operate with a cap on his reps. Homer does have one more chance Friday to log some on-field activity, but if he ends up limited or out Sunday versus the Jets, Dallas appears poised to act as the second option out of Seattle's backfield behind Walker.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Begins week as non-participant Homer (ankle) sat out Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Fellow running back Kenneth Walker, though his absence may be more maintenance-related to ensure he's as healthy as possible for game day. Meanwhile, DeeJay Dallas (ankle) was a limited participant. Homer himself sprained his ankle this past Saturday in Kansas City, capping him at one snap on offense and four on special teams. His usage was well behind Walker (who played 40 of 76 snaps on offense) and Dallas (35 of 76), and Homer's new health concern may be putting him down further in the pecking order in the Seahawks backfield. Ultimately, Friday's practice report may clarify the overall situation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with sprained ankle Coach Pete Carroll said Homer suffered an ankle sprain during Saturday' 24-10 loss at Kansas City, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Before he departured in the first half, Homer made a tackle on kick coverage but otherwise didn't earn a carry or target. Kenneth Walker continued to dominate the Seahawks backfield, despite not practicing at all during Week 16 prep due to an ankle injury, en route to 26 rushes for 107 yards and two catches (on two targets) for minus-2 yards. Meanwhile, DeeJay Dallas had two carries for 10 yards and gathered in all six targets for 32 yards. With the health of all three in some question before or after this contest, the situation will be one to monitor as Seattle prepares for its next game Sunday, Jan. 1 versus the Jets.

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tweaks ankle in Saturday's game Homer is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Chiefs due to an ankle injury.

Impact Homer didn't draw any targets or take any carries before exiting the contest to get his ankle checked out. If Homer ends up missing the rest of the Week 16 game, DeeJay Dallas would be next in line for change-of-pace work behind top back Kenneth Walker.

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Catches four passes in loss Homer rushed once for five yards and caught all four of his targets for 25 yards in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Rookie running back Kenneth Walker returned from an ankle injury and handled 16 touches, and Homer was limited to just 15 snaps. However, he still managed to make an impact with his highest catch total since Week 2, which was coincidently also against the 49ers. Homer will continue to play second fiddle to Walker for the remainder of the season, so his fantasy value will be unreliable.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to backup role Homer is expected to operate as the No. 2 running back in Thursday's game versus the 49ers with lead back Kenneth Walker (ankle) set to return from a one-game absence, John Boyle o...

Impact With a 91 percent snap share, Homer was the clear lead back in Seattle's Week 14 loss to Carolina, but that playing time translated into a mere 11 touches. Walker should be ready to play Thursday, though the Seahawks may not be comfortable returning him to his usual workload in his first game back. If that's the case, Homer could retain a larger role than he usually does when Walker is available, but Homer's fantasy value is still undoubtedly lower now that Walker is set to play in some capacity.
