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

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.
Analysis: 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.

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

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

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.
Analysis: 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.

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

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.
Analysis: 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.

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

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

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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

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.
Analysis: 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.

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 of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Quiet in start
Homer rushed nine times for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers. He also caught two of three targets for eight yards.
Analysis: Homer started at tailback with both Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas sidelined with ankle injuries. However, Homer wasn't able to capitalize on his opportunity, struggling to find much room to run besides a long gain of 16 yards. Although the Seahawks face a quick turnaround ahead of Week 15's Thursday night contest versus the 49ers, Homer could return to a reserve role if Walker and/or Dallas are able to suit up.

May be set for timeshare Sunday
GM John Schneider said on Seattle Sports pregame show that he expects Homer, Tony Jones and Godwin Igwebuike all to get work in the Seahawks backfield Sunday against the Panthers with Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) inactive.
Analysis: Homer will get a prime opportunity to produce with two of Seattle's top three running backs sidelined. On the season, he's averaged 4.8 YPC on his nine rushes and hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 124 yards and one touchdown, while Jones has just seven carries for 14 yards and two catches (on four targets) for 18 yards. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Sunday that Jones may start over Homer, but their respective stat lines and Schneider's comment would seem to indicate Homer is the best bet…read more

Could cede start to Tony Jones
Adam Schefter said on ESPN's broadcast of "Fantasy Football Now" that he expects Tony Jones -- not Homer -- to draw the start at running back in Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: The Seahawks list both Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) as questionable for the Week 14 contest, but neither is expected to play, which leaves Jones, Homer and practice-squad call-up Godwin Igwebuike as Seattle's available backfield options. Schefter expects all three backs to play in the contest, but Jones may garner the start even though Homer has routinely worked ahead of him in games when both backs have been available this season.

Should play more sans Walker, Dallas
Homer is expected to step into a larger role on offense with fellow running backs Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) both listed as questionable but not expected to play Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Homer was inactive for last week's 27-23 win over the Rams due to a knee sprain and an illness, but he's good to go for Sunday after practicing fully Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, Walker and Dallas weren't able to practice in any fashion this week due to the injuries they sustained in the win last Sunday, when Tony Jones (seven carries for 14 yards, two catches for 18 yards) finished the day as the team's lone healthy back. Jones, who had been a healthy inactive for the previous four games,…read more

Homer (knee) practiced in full Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Week 13 due to an illness and opening Week 14 prep with a limited session because of a knee sprain, Homer now is operating on all cylinders on the practice field. He seemingly is more than a step ahead of Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas in their respective recoveries from ankle issues, as that duo has yet to take part in any drills this week. If one or both of Walker and Dallas end up limited or out Sunday versus the Panthers, Homer likely is the top candidate to get…read more

Homer (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Homer was capped to one limited session last week due to an illness, and while he went into the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, the Seahawks downgraded him to out Saturday. On Monday, head coach Pete Carroll touched on Homer's injury, calling it a knee sprain, according to Boyle. With Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) unable to mix into drills Wednesday, Homer is the healthiest of the top three running backs on the active roster. Homer thus is in a…read more

Dealing with knee sprain
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Homer (illness) is dealing with a knee sprain, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Homer missed Sunday's win over the Rams due to an illness, but with both Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) now also banged up, his status becomes more crucial heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Panthers. Carroll didn't allude to Homer's chances of being available this weekend, though he did note Walker hasn't been ruled out yet after undergoing an MRI on Monday.

Out for Sunday
Homer (illness/knee) has been downgraded to out and will not play in Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Homer played just 13 offensive snaps last week in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but he totaled four touches (two carries, two receptions) during his time on the field, so this could be relevant for Seattle's backfield. Expect DeeJay Dallas and Tony Jones to operate in a backup tandem behind Kenneth Walker.

Uncertain for Sunday
Homer (illness/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Kenneth Walker figures to continue dominating carries in any case, but Homer's absence would have some impact on Seattle's gameplan for third downs and the two-minute drill, with DeeJay Dallas perhaps not as good of a blocker. While he scored a touchdown in last week's overtime contest, Homer typically doesn't get many touches even when he logs a decent number of snaps.

Homer (illness/knee) did not participate in the Seahawks' practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Homer missed his second practice in a row after popping up with an illness that is making the rounds in Seattle's locker room ahead of Week 13. The 24-year-old was one of eight Seahawks players to not practice due to the ailment, but he'll still have one more chance to improve his status before Friday's final injury report.

Sits out practice Wednesday
Homer (illness/knee) was a non-participant during practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Homer played 34 total snaps during Sunday's loss to the Raiders, though he appears to have come down with an illness since this contest. While the nature of this ailment is still unclear, the running back will have two more practices to improve his status before taking on the Rams this Sunday. When healthy, Homer will likely continue to split playing time with DeeJay Dallas behind No. 1 running back Kenneth Walker.

Scores in overtime loss
Homer rushed twice for eight yards and caught two of three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Late in the fourth quarter, Homer scored on an 18-yard screen pass in which he broke multiple tackles en route to the end zone. He was quite effective with his opportunities, but the fourth-year pro handled just 13 offensive snaps while rookie Kenneth Walker played 46 snaps. Kenneth Walker recorded 39 yards and a touchdown on 15 touches. Homer is a flaky fantasy option, as he has totaled just 12 touches over the last five games.

No touches in loss
Homer didn't record a carry or a target in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Homer recorded at least one touch in all five games that he suited up for prior to Week 10. However, the Seahawks mostly abandoned the run after falling behind to the Buccaneers early, and rookie Kenneth Walker proved to be an effective pass-catcher with six receptions for 55 yards in this contest. Going forward, Homer is simply an insurance option.

Snares three passes
Homer rushed once for seven yards and caught all three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Once again, Homer operated as the clear No. 2 back behind rookie Kenneth Walker. Homer logged 20 offensive snaps while DeeJay Dallas was held to just two. A 2019 sixth-round pick, Homer continues to be efficient as a pass-catcher, as he has caught all eight of his targets for 79 yards this year.

Registers 31 total yards
Homer rushed twice for 10 yards and caught his lone target for 21 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Homer returned from injured reserve in Week 8 and immediately claimed the No. 2 role behind rookie Kenneth Walker, as Homer logged 14 offensive snaps (22 percent) while DeeJay Dallas handled five snaps. Walker will be the clear-cut lead back as long as he's healthy, but Homer is worth a roster spot in deeper leagues as a potential starter if Walker gets hurt.

Set for action Sunday
Homer (ribs) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Head coach Pete Carroll outright confirmed Homer would be active for Week 8, so this comes as no surprise. It's possible the Seahawks could utilize the fourth-year back more in the passing game with DK Metcalf (knee) and Tyler Lockett (hamstring) both listed as game-time calls in a pivotal battle against the Giants.

Set to be activated Week 8
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Homer (ribs) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Seattle will likely wait until shortly before Saturday's 4 p.m. ET deadline for Week 8 roster moves before formally activating him, but Homer apparently checked out fine following his return to practice Wednesday. Prior to missing each of the Seahawks' last four games while on IR, Homer had served mainly as a pass-catching specialist out of the backfield in addition to having a role on special teams. Homer could immediately supplant DeeJay Dallas on passing downs Week 8, but he's unlikely to…read more

The Seahawks designated Homer (ribs) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: As head coach Pete Carroll predicted last Wednesday, Homer is getting back on the practice field this week after missing the minimum four games on injured reserve due to sore ribs. It's unclear if he'll do enough to be cleared to play Sunday against the Giants, but the Seahawks now have a 21-day window in which to evaluate whether or not a return to the active roster is possible.

Could practice next week
Head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Homer (ribs) might be able to practice in about a week, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Seattle placed Homer on its injured reserve list ahead of Week 4, and he's required to sit out of Sunday's game at the Chargers as a result, but that could be his final absence before he makes his return to the lineup. When he returns, he'll likely play in a change-of-pace role behind Kenneth Walker, who has taken over as Seattle's lead option on the ground after Rashaad Penny (ankle, fibula) suffered a season-ending injury Week 5.

Should return quickly from IR
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said that Homer (ribs) should return quickly after he becomes eligible to return from IR following Week 7, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Homer was placed on IR following Week 3, so his earliest chance to return will come during the lead-up to Seattle's game against the Giants on Oct. 30. The 24-year-old rushed four times for 18 yards and caught four passes for 33 yards while playing 40 offensive snaps over the first three games of the season. Homer could stand to see increased playing time once he returns, however, as running back Rashaad Penny will miss the rest of the season with a broken left fibula.

Analysis: Homer is ineligible to play in the next four games, with his next possible appearance being Oct. 30 against the Giants in Week 8.

Still sore
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Homer (ribs) is still dealing with soreness following Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Homer exited the Week 3 contest due to the rib injury, playing just two snaps on offense and carrying once for seven yards before departing. The Seahawks seem to be viewing Homer as day-to-day for the time being, but his availability for a Week 4 matchup with the Lions looks to be up in the air. DeeJay Dallas would likely see a larger role on passing downs if Homer isn't available in Detroit.

Homer has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Falcons after suffering a rib injury, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Homer suffered the injury early in the game and managed only one rush for seven yards prior to exiting.

Leaves with injury
Homer (ribs) exited early against the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Homer suffered the injury in the first quarter. Although he's No. 3 on the team's depth chart, he still played 45 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 2, and is typically featured on passing downs. If Homer can't return, DeeJay Dallas may step into that role.

Registers 42 total yards
Homer rushed twice for nine yards and caught all four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Homer led all Seahawks running backs with 22 offensive snaps while Rashaad Penny (20) and rookie Kenneth Walker (12) trailed close behind. The Seahawks played from behind nearly all day, so Homer's usage in the passing game came in handy. He ended up out-pacing Penny and Walker in terms of yardage, too. It will still be difficult to trust Homer on a weekly basis as long as Penny and Walker are healthy.

Works as No. 2 back
Homer rushed once for two yards in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Homer was on the field for nearly every third down. He played 19 of 55 offensive snaps (35 percent), while Rashaad Penny handled 38 snaps and DeeJay Dallas played three snaps. Homer's role will become cloudy once rookie Kenneth Walker (hernia) returns from injury.

Limited touches against Dallas
Homer gained five yards on three carries and caught both his targets for 11 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: The fourth-year back mixed in with DeeJay Dallas through the first half, although Dallas wound up posting better numbers on the night. Homer still seems set as Seattle's No. 3 RB heading into the regular season, a role that could provide him with more volume than expected in Week 1, as neither Rashaad Penny (COVID-19) nor Kenneth Walker (abdomen) are fully healthy at the moment.

Could get early down work
Coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that he'd have "no problem" giving Homer snaps on early downs this season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Homer served as Seattle's third-down back for parts of the past three seasons, seeing 64 carries and 43 targets in 39 games. He's reportedly bulked up a bit -- he's listed at 5-foot-10, 202 pounds -- and could see some work outside of obvious passing situations if Kenneth Walker (abdomen) misses time early in the season. Rashaad Penny is still the lead back and figures to take most of the carries in a Week 1 matchup with the Broncos and old friend Russell Wilson.

Totals 48 yards
Homer rushed five times for 44 yards and caught his lone target for four yards in Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Homer's highlight of the evening was a slashing run where he broke at least four tackles and gained 33 yards, which was perhaps the play of the game. He led the team in rushing while fellow running back DeeJay Dallas led the team in receiving with four catches for 52 yards. Homer is more effective than Dallas as a runner and a pass-blocker, though, so he likely still has the edge in the competition. The duo may be battling for an increased role in Week 1 if Kenneth Walker (hernia) isn't ready.

Analysis: With Rashaad Penny (groin) sitting out, Homer was the second Seahawks running back to take the field after rookie second-round pick Kenneth Walker and before DeeJay Dallas. Homer was highly efficient on the ground and through the air. Dallas also was quite impressive, running for 73 yards on 10 carries and catching his lone target for a 17-yard gain. Homer is the superior pass blocker and appears to have the edge in the competition with Dallas for the No. 3 running back spot, though neither…read more

Competing for third-down role
Homer is expected to compete with DeeJay Dallas for a third-down role following Tuesday's report that Chris Carson (neck) will retire, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After the Seahawks picked Kenneth Walker in the second round of April's draft, Homer might have been on the roster bubble if Carson managed to gain medical clearance for the start of training camp. However, with Carson now out of the picture, Homer has a much better chance at securing a spot on the roster. Homer is a skilled special-teams player and the Seahawks' best pass protector, while Dallas is considered the better receiver of the two. It wouldn't be surprising for either Homer or Dallas…read more

Registers 338 yards from scrimmage
Homer rushed 21 times for 177 yards and a touchdown and caught 16 of 20 targets for 161 yards over 14 games during the 2021 season.
Analysis: Homer mostly played on special teams this season. Both he and DeeJay Dallas rarely played on offense; Chris Carson (neck) and Alex Collins (abdomen) handled most of the reps through the first 11 games while Rashaad Penny hit his stride over the final five games. Head coach Pete Carroll doesn't seem to trust either Homer or Dallas with a consistent role, meaning both running backs will likely face competition in training camp if Penny walks in free agency and Carson isn't 100 percent for the…read more

Rings up 27 yards
Homer rushed six times for 27 yards in Sunday's 51-29 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Rashaad Penny stole the show with 25 rushes for 170 yards and two touchdowns. Most of Homer's carries came when the game was safely in hand for the Seahawks. Penny should work as the clear lead back in Week 18 against the Cardinals, but Homer may operate as the No. 2 if DeeJay Dallas (thigh) and Alex Collins (abdomen) are unable to go.

Minimal usage in loss
Homer didn't record a touch in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Homer missed the full week of practice due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, which may be an explanation for why he only handled four offensive snaps despite Alex Collins being a healthy scratch. Rashaad Penny looks like the obvious No. 1 back for the rest of the season, and Homer will compete with DeeJay Dallas for the remaining reps. Neither player should be considered a stable fantasy option.

Activated from COVID-19 list
Homer was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Analysis: Homer's return could take some snaps/touches away from DeeJay Dallas, the other back Seattle has used on passing downs this year. Homer has 14 carries and 17 targets in 11 games, with his most impactful play being a 73-yard TD on a fake punt.

Goes to COVID-19 list
The Seahawks placed Homer (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: With the Seahawks' Week 15 game pushed back from Sunday to Tuesday due to COVID-19 concerns within their opponents, the Rams, Seattle now has an ever growing list as the matchup draws closer. Homer joins position mate Alex Collins (abdomen/illness) on the reserve list, which leaves Rashaad Penny, DeeJay Dallas and practice squad member Adrian Peterson (lower back) as the team's current and likely healthy running backs on the roster.

'Hopeful' for Week 15
Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he's "hopeful" that Homer (calf/hamstring) will be back Sunday versus the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Carroll is notoriously optimistic about his players getting back on the field. We may need to see him at practice in some fashion Wednesday to feel truly hopeful that he can play Sunday. His role on offense likely will be limited regardless, as he's coming off soft-tissue injuries, Rashaad Penny appears to be the starter for now, and Alex Collins is healthy as the No. 2 option. Homer should contribute on special teams and on clear passing downs if he can play.

Homer (calf/hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Houston, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: After logging a limited practice Wednesday, Homer didn't get on the field at all Thursday and subsequently will miss his second contest of the season. He hasn't received much work anyway when available, with just 19 touches and 131 offensive snaps in 11 games.

Limited at practice Wednesday
Homer practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday due to calf and hamstring injuries, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: With Alex Collins (abdomen) out of the lineup this past Sunday against the 49ers, Homer earned his second-largest workload in a game this season, playing 30 percent of the snaps on offense. Homer took advantage of the opportunity and ripped off a career-long 73-yard touchdown run from a direct snap on a fake punt.

Homer rushed three times for 80 yards and a touchdown and caught four of five targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: After failing to get a first down on the opening drive, the Seahawks ran a fake punt where Homer took a direct snap and ran 73 yards to the house. The third-year running back showed off his speed and open-field awareness in the process. Homer also recorded a 30 percent snap share, finishing ahead of Adrian Peterson (27 percent) but behind Rashaad Penny (40 percent). Even with the explosive play.

Homer (calf) is active for Sunday's contest versus the 49ers.
Analysis: Homer practiced in full during Week 13 prep but still entered the weekend as questionable for this game. While he'll be available to the Seahawks backfield Sunday along with Adrian Peterson, Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas, Alex Collins will not be after the team made him a surprise health scratch.

The calf injury was to blame, but he would have taken every rep if Seattle had held practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Homer suffered the injury in the team's Week 11 matchup but was downgraded from a limited participant Thursday to no participation Friday. His absence leaves the Seahawks backfield thin, as Rashaad Penny (hamstring) has also been ruled out. As a result, Alex Collins and DeeJay Dallas will serve as the team's primary rushers.

Analysis: Homer led the Seahawks backfield in snaps during last week's loss to the Packers, but he finished fourth this week even though Rashaad Penny (hamstring) left early. Nevertheless, Homer should be in the mix for increased usage if Penny missed time, but it probably won't be enough for fantasy relevance as long as Alex Collins and DeeJay Dallas are healthy.

Homer rushed once for two yards and caught three of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 17-0 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Homer led the Seahawks backfield with 31 of 61 offensive snaps (51 percent). Alex Collins still handled a majority of the touches (11), but Homer's pass blocking kept him on the field to protect Russell Wilson, who was making his return from a finger injury. Chris Carson (neck) could return Week 11 versus the Cardinals, but Collins likely will handle a bulk of the work until he does.

Analysis: Homer finished second among Seahawks running backs with 17 offensive snaps, as Alex Collins led the backfield with 27. However, he made his biggest play of the season on special teams, snagging the onside kick and returning it 44 yards for a score. Homer's role is secure on passing downs, but he has only generated 165 scrimmage yards through eight games.

Analysis: Homer played just 12 of the team's 56 offensive snaps, while Alex Collins (22) and Rashaad Penny (20) handily outpaced him for work out of the backfield. Though Homer provided a good chunk of yardage on his lone touch of the time, the backfield has a whole couldn't find much open room against the Saints.

Analysis: The Seahawks recorded just four plays that went further than 20 yards, and Homer accounted for two of them. The third-year back could handle an expanded role Week 7 against the Saints, as Chris Carson (neck) is out for the next two games while Alex Collins (hip) is uncertain for that matchup. However, Rashaad Penny (calf) potentially is on track to return Monday, while DeeJay Dallas, who logged 50 yards on nine touches this week, also will be in the mix for increased playing time.

Operates as No. 3 back
Homer rushed once for five yards and caught his lone target for 13 yards in Thursday's 26-17 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Homer ran ahead of DeeJay Dallas through the first four weeks of the season, but Dallas jumped Homer in the pecking order with Chris Carson (neck) out Thursday. Neither player was particularly effective for fantasy purposes. Homer likely won't have much fantasy value in 2021, considering his snap share took a step back in a pass-heavy game script with Carson out of the lineup.

Homer could see an increased workload in Thursday's game against the Rams with Chris Carson (neck) inactive for the contest.
Analysis: Alex Collins is expected to be the main beneficiary of Carson's absence, especially with regard to early down work, but Homer and possibly DeeJay Dallas could enjoy modest increases in their respective snaps as well. Homer typically handles the team's passing-down reps because he's a sturdy pass blocker and an evasive pass catcher, and that role could be key with a potential high-scoring tilt on tap.

Homer rushed once for five yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Homer's usage is reserved for passing scenarios. With the Seahawks leading for most of the game, he finished with just nine offensive snaps. Alex Collins out-snapped him with 22 and garnered 78 yards and a touchdown on 12 touches. Homer could have more of a role Thursday against the Rams if the game turns into a shootout, but Chris Carson is still the only dependable fantasy option in Seattle's backfield.

Snares three passes
Homer caught all three targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Homer logged 16 offensive snaps, finishing second behind Chris Carson (23) and barely ahead of Alex Collins (14). His increased usage was a direct result of the game script, as Homer is the team's best pass-blocking running back, and he's elusive after the catch. Thus, Homer's role should stay consistent even when Rashaad Penny (calf) returns to the lineup. However, Homer shouldn't be viewed as the primary backup to Carson, as Penny and Carson have frames that are better suited for workhorse…read more

Analysis: Homer finished Sunday's game with 14 carries, ranking second behind Chris Carson (34) but ahead of Alex Collins (six).

No go Thursday
Homer (wrist/thumb/knee) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: On Tuesday, coach Pete Carroll relayed Homer is "really sore" and has "a little something going on in his wrist," per Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle. Considering Homer is listed with wrist, thumb and knee concerns for a second straight week, it's no wonder that the second-year running back is hurting at the moment. With Carlos Hyde and DeeJay Dallas healthy, and Chris Carson (foot) seemingly closing in on his first game action since Week 7, the Seahawks can opt to be cautious…read more

Tending to sore knee, wrist injury
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Homer (knee) is still "really sore" and also has "a little something going on in his wrist," Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Carroll didn't make any mention of Homer's thumb, which had also been one of the injuries that sidelined the running back in last week's win over the Cardinals. That said, Carroll hinted that Homer might need some time to overcome the knee and wrist concerns, which seemingly isn't a positive sign with regards to his chances of playing Monday in Philadelphia. Fortunately for Seattle, lead back Chris Carson (foot) looks on track to return from a four-game absence this week, providing some…read more

Sidelined Week 11
Homer (wrist/knee/thumb) is listed as inactive Thursday versus the Cardinals.
Analysis: Homer is extremely banged up at the moment, tending to wrist, knee and thumb concerns. He'll join Chris Carson (foot) on the sideline, leaving the Seahawks backfield to Carlos Hyde, DeeJay Dallas and Bo Scarbrough.

Doubtful with trio of injuries
Homer (wrist/knee/thumb) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Homer's long list of injuries will more than likely keep him sidelined Week 11, but the Seahawks should get some reinforcement at running back with Carlos Hyde (hamstring) set to return from a three-game absence. Meanwhile, top back Chris Carson (foot) is listed as questionable after missing the past three contests, with Seattle viewing him as a game-time call for Thursday night. Considering Carson and Hyde have slotted ahead of him on the depth chart all season, Homer will likely have a…read more

Maintains limited participation
Homer (wrist/knee/thumb) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The wrist injury was a new addition to Tuesday's injury report, but the 22-year-old running back was a limited participant for the second straight day anyway. If he's able to play through his various knocks, Homer's offensive role will diminish profoundly because Carlos Hyde (hamstring) is set to return Thursday against the Cardinals, while Chris Carson (foot) is making good progress toward a return of his own.

Listed as limited
Homer (knee/thumb) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's injury report, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Homer was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Rams due to a foot injury, so it's encouraging to see that the Seahawks already believe he's ready to resume practicing. With Chris Carson (foot) still sidelined and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) limited, it's possible that Homer could get another chance to draw increased usage if he's healthy enough to face the Cardinals on Thursday.

Unlikely to return Sunday
Homer suffered a hand injury during Sunday's road contest versus the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: With Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) sidelined for a third consecutive game, the Seahawks backfield was manned by a combination of Homer, Alex Collins and DeeJay Dallas. Curiously, Homer (three catches for 19 yards on three targets) and Dallas (two receptions for 23 yards on two targets) were contained to pass-catching reps, while Collins drew all eight carries (for 29 yards and a TD) given to Seattle running backs. With Homer considered doubtful to return, Collins and Dallas…read more

Increased duties on tap
Homer should rotate with DeeJay Dallas in Sunday's game against the Rams following news that Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) are out, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Homer looked fully healthy in last week's loss to the Bills. While he gained just 16 yards on six carries, he caught all three targets for 64 yards, including a 50-yard reception. The game script favored him, too, as the Seahawks dug a deep hole right away and passed more than usual, keeping Homer on the field for his pass-blocking acumen. The second-year back out of Miami should have a handful of opportunities this Sunday, especially if it turns into a shootout, but Dallas may have more upside…read more

Set for Week 10
Homer (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's road game versus the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll considers Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) to be game-time decisions, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, which could be a boon for Homer if both are held out for a third straight contest. In the previous two outings, Homer totaled 10 touches for 84 yards, while DeeJay Dallas had 32 touches for 97 yards and three TDs.

Limited by knee injury
Homer (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) still missing practice, Homer is the most experienced 'healthy' member of the backfield. Still, Homer's practice reps were capped Thursday after a full session one day earlier. Considering the situation, Friday's injury report could add clarity to the breakdown of the Seahawks' Week 10 backfield, which may again be paced by DeeJay Dallas if Carson and Hyde are sidelined and Homer is inhibited by his health concern.

Scampers for 80 total yards
Homer rushed six times for 16 yards and caught all three targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 44-34 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Homer took the lead back role with Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) out, as he paced the backfield with 31 snaps. The second-year running back out of Miami couldn't get anything going on the ground, but he showed some burst in the fourth quarter, reeling in a screen pass and taking it 50 yards into Buffalo territory. Once Carson and Hyde return, Homer's work will be reserved for clear passing situations because he's a skilled pass blocker.

Ready to go Sunday
Homer (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though Homer sat out practice Wednesday and was a limited participant Thursday, his knee injury appears to be less of a concern than it was Week 8. While Homer ultimately suited up in last week's win over the 49ers, he was listed as questionable prior to the contest and served mainly as an emergency option behind DeeJay Dallas, as Seattle's top two backs -- Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) -- were tending to more serious injuries. With Carson and Hyde both still sidelined Week 9,…read more

Upgraded to limited in practice
Homer (knee) logged a limited practice session Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll had alluded to this as a possibility during his media session Wednesday, stating that he believed Homer would prove capable of suiting up for the Seahawks' Week 9 road trip to Buffalo. The running back's improvement to limited availability provides the first step towards making his coach's prediction come true, though his usage may be extremely limited if Chris Carson (foot) makes his return from a one-game absence. Homer fought through injury to suit up Week 8 against the…read more

Listed as non-participant Wednesday
Homer (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: According to Boyle, coach Pete Carroll said earlier Wednesday that Homer will be ready to play Sunday against the Bills, and the running back's absence from practice doesn't necessarily contradict that statement. Homer didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday last week while recovering from a knee contusion, but he was active -- albeit in a limited role -- during the Seahawks' win over the 49ers. His health seems to be trending in the right direction this week, so Homer should be able to handle…read more

On track to face Bills
Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Homer (knee) "will be able to go this week," Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Homer managed to play through his bruised knee in Sunday's win over the 49ers, but he only handled seven offensive snaps while taking a back seat to rookie fourth-round pick DeeJay Dallas. Assuming Homer is closer to full health for a Week 9 matchup with the Bills, he could have the chance to handle increased touches. Carroll has already ruled Carlos Hyde (hamstring) out for the contest, while the status of top back Chris Carson (foot) is murky.

One carry in win
Homer (knee) rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Homer was contained to one limited practice last week as he dealt with a bruised knee, but he suited up Sunday as an emergency backup of sorts. He played just seven offensive snaps, as rookie DeeJay Dallas handled the bulk of the workload. According to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times, coach Pete Carroll is optimistic that Homer should be able to play more Week 9 against the Bills. The second-year running back's role is to be determined, however, as Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde…read more

Set for bigger role
Homer (knee) is listed as active Sunday versus the 49ers.
Analysis: Among the Seahawks' top three running backs, Homer was the only one to get on the practice field this week, acting as a limited participant at Friday's session. The activity was enough for the team to clear him to play Sunday, and with Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) unavailable, Homer and DeeJay Dallas will be the options out of Seattle's backfield Week 8. On the season, Homer has just 21 touches for 75 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown.

Considered a game-time call
Homer (knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with San Francisco, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said Homer would be able to play, but it doesn't look like a sure thing after the running back was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. This wouldn't normally be a huge concern for the Seattle offense, but Chris Carson (foot) is listed as questionable and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) as doubtful. Homer could have an expanded role if he's the only one of the three to play, though even in that scenario it might be DeeJay Dallas serving as the lead ball carrier. In any case,…read more

Should play Sunday
Coach Pete Carroll expects Homer (knee) to play Sunday against the 49ers, Brandon Gustafson of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) are trending toward game-time decisions. It isn't clear Homer will get many touches even if Carson and Hyde don't play, but the second-year pro should at least be on hand for his usual role on passing downs. DeeJay Dallas is the only Seattle running back who has been participating in practice this week, though it sounds like Homer could be back on the field Friday afternoon.

No practice Thursday
Homer (knee) was held out of practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Homer came out of Sunday's defeat at Arizona with a knee contusion, but the second-year back was "moving better" by Wednesday, as coach Pete Carroll noted to Dugar. Still, the injury has kept Homer off the field so far this week, and position mates Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) also didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday. Clearly, the Seahawks backfield is in flux, with just one healthy RB (rookie fourth-round pick DeeJay Dallas) on the active roster.

Sitting out practice
Homer (knee) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said that Homer, who is dealing with a knee contusion, is "moving better" than he was Tuesday, indicating that the second-year running back could be doing some work on a side field to begin the practice week. Still, Homer needs to participate with the Seahawks' main group in some capacity by Friday to have a chance to play Sunday against the 49ers. If he's able to suit up, Homer could take on a larger role in the backfield rotation than normal with both Chris Carson (foot)…read more

Dealing with knee contusion
Homer picked up a knee contusion in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, per coach Pete Carroll, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Homer took on an increased role after Chris Carson exited with a foot injury, serving as the passing-down alternative to Carlos Hyde. DeeJay Dallas took over that change-of-pace role late in the game, and it turns out the reason for that substitution was an injury to Homer's knee. Homer rushed three times for 10 yards prior to getting hurt, and he'll hope to heal up in time to face San Francisco in Week 8.

Three carries in SNF win
Homer registered 14 rushing yards on three carries during Sunday night's 27-26 win against the Vikings.
Analysis: The 22-year-old sits just one carry behind Carlos Hyde (shoulder) for second on the team in RB rush attempts this season, handling seven carries the past two weeks with Hyde recuperating from injury. Chris Carson continues to lead Seattle's backfield with his 61 attempts, but in an offense conducted by MVP front-runner Russell Wilson, scoring opportunities present themselves more often than they typically might for other teams' peripheral contributors. Homer logged his first score of 2020…read more

Scores first receiving TD
Homer rushed four times for five yards and caught his lone target for a three-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Homer was in line for a heightened workload if Chris Carson (knee) sat out, but not only did Carson play, he showed no remnants of an injury. As a result, Homer played just 17 of 63 offensive snaps (27 percent), and rookie DeeJay Dallas nearly tied him in touches with two carries and two receptions for 23 total yards. Homer did come through with a score, but Dallas was arguably more effective during Sunday's contest. It's a small sample for the two backs, however, and both will likely be pushed…read more

Could handle more reps
Homer could be in line for more volume following news that Carson suffered a first-degree knee sprain in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Carson went down with a fractured hip Week 16 last year, making Homer the de facto No. 1 RB until the team signed Marshawn Lynch for a postseason push. Homer was quite effective in place of Carson, especially as a pass catcher, reeling in 14 of 17 passes for 88 yards over four games, including the postseason. He was a bit inconsistent on the ground, but he's been more dependable this year, recording 39 yards on eight carries (4.9 YPC). Considering Homer and Carlos Hyde both recorded 16…read more

Rushes for 21 yards
Homer recorded 21 yards on three carries in Sunday's 35-30 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: All three of Homer's carries went for five or more yards, but he was still the clear No. 3 back behind Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde. Nevertheless, Homer is holding off rookie DeeJay Dallas by virtue of his special-teams abilities, as he averaged 29.7 yards per kick return, including a 44-yard return in the second quarter.

Minimal production in win
Homer recorded minus-1 yard on three carries in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons. He also caught both targets for four yards.
Analysis: Homer holds the edge over rookie fourth-rounder DeeJay Dallas by virtue of his special-teams abilities, as WR Tyler Lockett has been bumped off and Homer was the primary kick returner Sunday. However, his production on offense was disappointing, albeit in a small sample, so he'll look to rebound in Week 2 when the Patriots come to town.

Back to full health
Homer (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report and is expected to suit up in Sunday's game versus the Falcons, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Homer missed a handful of practices toward the end of training camp, but he's healthy and ready for his second NFL season. He is lined up as the No. 3 RB behind Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde to begin the season, although rookie DeeJay Dallas could be in the mix as well. Hyde is likely the main beneficiary if Carson's reps are limited after recovering the fractured hip that ended his 2019 season, but Homer would likely factor into that scenario as well.

Analysis: Just two days removed from sitting out Sunday, Homer rejoined his backfield mates, or at least the healthy bodies in Chris Carson and DeeJay Dallas.

Headed for backup role
Homer is on track to open the season as Seattle's No. 3 running back, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: A sixth-round pick last year, Homer primarily played special teams until Rashaad Penny (knee) and Chris Carson (hip) suffered season-ending injuries. The rookie then took 15 carries for 78 yards and 11 catches for 56 yards over the final two weeks of the regular season, but he was limited to 57 yards on 17 touches in two playoff games. With Penny likely headed for the PUP list while Carson and Carlos Hyde (shoulder) are expected to be ready for the start of the season, Homer figures to compete…read more
