TRAVIS HOMER NEWS

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.

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.

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.

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.

Trending towards playing Friday Homer (hamstring/knee) was listed as a full participant on the Bears' practice estimate Tuesday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact Homer will miss the first four games of the regular season, at a minimum, due to a calf injury sustained during Chicago's preseason opener against Miami. Once fully recovered, Homer will figure to return as a depth option behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson (foot).
