Impact Holmes functioned as the third-string defensive end for the Bears but didn't record a snap on defense until Week 18. He'll likely battle for a roster spot as an unrestricted free agent.

Ruled out for season finale Holmes (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact Holmes will miss a second straight game to close out the 2020 campaign, which comes as no surprise given that he was unable to contribute any sort of practice participation throughout the week. The 24-year-old garnered only one start over Minnesota's first six games of the season, but an Oct. 22 trade of Yannick Ngakoue to Baltimore opened up opportunities for Holmes down the stretch. He registered eight straight starts between Weeks 8 and 15, concluding his season with 36 tackles, four QB hits and no sacks over 14 appearances.

Impact Holmes' groin injury kept him from facing the Saints in Week 16, and it looks like he's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Lions. If he misses another game, D.J. Wonnum would be the favorite to inherit Holmes' role.

Starting role on tap Holmes is expected to slot into a staring role at defensive end following the trade of Yannick Ngakoue to Baltimore, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Holmes played roughly 50 percent of defensive snaps per game even with Ngakoue on the field, but he now looks set to handle a clear starting workload across from Ifeadi Odenigbo. Increased snaps could thrust Holmes onto the fantasy radar in IDP formats, though he hasn't historically produced much as a pass rusher.
