Homer (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
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 more reps Sunday. If Chris Carson (foot) is ready to go, however, Homer's usage would be limited to clear passing situations.
