Homer played all 18 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 42-38 loss to the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Homer suited up as the Bears' No. 3 running back, but as per usual, he didn't receive any reps on offense behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai and continued to offer most of his utility on Chicago's coverage units. For the season, Homer has played just six total snaps on offense and has carried once for minus-2 yards over his nine appearances.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Homer (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 reserve running back and special-teams asset has one more chance to upgrade his practice participation before Sunday's game against the Browns, and he'll likely need to show some improvement Friday to suit up for the game.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Homer (hamstring/knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Homer (hamstring/knee) did not practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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.
