Travis Homer Going On Injured Reserve After Having Surgery

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer (finger) underwent surgery on his finger and will be placed on Injured Reserve, meaning he will be out for at least the next four games. The Bears have their bye in Week 7 as well, so the earliest Homer will be able to return will be for a Week 8 tilt versus the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old isn't at all on the fantasy radar after seeing just three carries for 16 yards in the first two weeks of the season. With Homer now out for the foreseeable future, it means that Roschon Johnson should see more involvement on passing downs alongside D'Andre Swift in a Bears offense that has been stuck in the mud early on behind rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. In his first year in Chicago in 2023, Homer was used exclusively on special teams and didn't see a single touch on offense. He was targeted once in the passing game in 16 games.

Travis Homer With Little Production In Starting Role

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer rushed the ball four times for 13 yards and did not catch either of his targets in the team's preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Homer got the start alongside other Chicago reserves and played a couple of series. The veteran's contributions on special teams may be enough for him to make the final roster. However, with Velus Jones Jr. making the transition to running back, it could spell trouble for the sixth-year veteran. If he does survive the final cuts, he'll be behind D'Andre Swift, Khalil Herbert, and Roschon Johnson on the running back depth chart.

Travis Homer Upgraded To Full Practice

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer (hamstring) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. Homer was injured in Week 5 and sat out of the Week 6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but he's trending toward returning this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Khalil Herbert (ankle) is on Injured Reserve and rookie Roschon Johnson is still in the league's concussion protocol, so Homer could have an elevated role as a pass-catcher out of the backfield alongside D'Onta Foreman and Darrynton Evans this weekend if Johnson is inactive again. However, the 25-year-old is nothing more than a desperation flex play in PPR leagues with rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent likely to be leading Chicago's offense against the Raiders this week.

Travis Homer Ruled Out For Week 6

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer (hamstring) will not play in the team's Week 6 game against the Minnesota Vikings. He will miss the divisional matchup due to a hamstring injury suffered in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders. The injury bug hit the Bears running backs hard last week, taking out Khalil Herbert (ankle) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) as well. Homer has only seen two offensive snaps this season but has been involved in special teams play. The injuries to Chicago's top backfield options mean the door is finally open for D'Onta Foreman, who had five rushing attempts and three targets in Week 1 but has been a healthy scratch for the last four weeks.

Travis Homer Misses Practice On Wednesday

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer (hamstring) did not partake in the team's practice on Wednesday. Homer suffered the injury in the Bears' 40-20 win in Week 5 and left the game early. With the extra time off, though, it appears the running back is still nursing his hamstring issue. The 25-year-old has only seen two offensive snaps all season. But that could change in Week 6 with Khalil Herbert (ankle) doubtful for the contest and Roschon Johnson (concussion) still not practicing. Homer will have two more opportunities to practice before Chicago takes on the Minnesota Vikings this weekend.

Khalil Herbert, Travis Homer Injured Thursday Night

Chicago Bears running backs Khalil Herbert (ankle) and Travis Homer (hamstring) were both injured in Thursday night's game against the Washington Commanders and are questionable to return. Herbert's right ankle had to be taped after he was injured in the third quarter. Rookie Roschon Johnson (concussion) was already ruled out with a concussion, so Chicago's backfield is extremely thin to close out the game in Week 5. Before his injury, Herbert had 10 carries for 76 yards and failed to haul in any of his three targets in the passing game. Homer didn't have a single touch. If Herbert or Homer cannot return, Khari Blasingame will finish out the contest as the Bears primary backfield option. The Bears will have extra time before their Week 6 meeting with the Minnesota Vikings, but the health of their backfield will be worth watching closely. D'Onta Foreman has been a healthy scratch, but he could be forced into active duty next week.
