Homer may be in line to make the Bears' regular-season roster due to his role as a key special teamer, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Homer is competing with Trestan Ebner for the No. 4 running back role. Although both players have had positive moments during camp, the Bears will likely need Homer to be heavily involved on special teams. That could give him a leg up in the battle with Ebner. Unless the team has multiple injuries at running back, it's unlikely the No. 4 role results in many offensive snaps.
