Seahawks’ Travis Homer: Minimal usage in opener
Travis Homer didn’t record a touch in Sunday’s 28-16 win over the Colts.Alex Collins was a healthy scratch and Rashaad Penny left with a calf injury, but neither Homer nor DeeJay Dallas played much in Week 1. Perhaps that changes if Penny’s forced to miss time, though the Seattle Seahawks may be willing to use Chris Carson as a bell cow for the time being.

Seahawks’ Travis Homer: Sticking around
Travis Homer made the Seattle Seahawks’ 53-man roster, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.Homer was one of five running backs to make the team’s initial roster. The 23-year-old is the team’s best pass-blocking running back, so he should be locked into some playing time protecting quarterback Russell Wilson. However, he likely won’t yield much fantasy value.

Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Travis Homer (calf) will come off the PUP list next week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.Homer finished last year on IR with a knee injury and now has been out since the spring with a calf injury.

Seahawks’ Travis Homer: Lands on PUP list
The Seattle Seahawks placed Travis Homer (calf) on the PUP list to start training camp, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.Homer also missed time during June minicamp due to the calf injury, so his status warrants monitoring. Being forced to sit out a significant portion of training camp could affect Homer’s chances of beating out DeeJay Dallas and Alex Collins for the No. 3 backfield role behind Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny (knee).

Seahawks’ Travis Homer: Sits out with calf injury
Travis Homer (calf) didn’t take part in Thursday’s minicamp practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.Homer dealt with a number of health concerns last season, but a calf injury wasn’t one of them. Through two pro campaigns, the 2019 sixth-rounder hasn’t been much more than a depth piece in the Seattle Seahawks backfield, averaging 4.7 yards on 43 carries and 7.3 yards on 20 catches while scoring one TD in 25 appearances. Homer still resides behind Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny (knee) on the depth chart, meaning he likely will need one of the duo to miss time in the fall in order to become a consistent part of the offense.

Seahawks’ Travis Homer: Should stick around for 2021
Travis Homer (knee) is one of three running backs under contract with the Seattle Seahawks for 2021, Lindsey Wisniewski of SI.com reports.Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde and Alex Collins can all become unrestricted free agents, while Homer, Rashaad Penny (knee) and DeeJay Dallas are still on rookie contracts. Homer, a 2019 sixth-round pick, has mostly served as a passing-down specialist to this point in his career, handling a role that emphasizes blocking. He finished 2020 on injured reserve with a knee injury, but coach Pete Carroll hinted that the 22-year-old might have bene able to return if the Seahawks had made a deep playoff run. It thus stands to reason that Homer should be healthy before the start of the offseason program in April/May, though he may end up on the roster bubble anyway.

Seahawks’ Travis Homer: Could return this season
Coach Pete Carroll said that Travis Homer (knee) has an opportunity to return from injured reserve in the coming weeks, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.While Homer won’t be eligible for reactivation during the regular season given his Dec. 19 placement on IR, the 22-year-old would be able to suit up as soon as the wild-card round. He hasn’t appeared in a game since Week 10. However, Seattle could use the extra depth at running back with Carlos Hyde (illness) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) continuing to be beleaguered by health issues of their own.
