What It Means:

Homer injured his knee during Sunday night's overtime loss but Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the second-year back was "moving better" on Wednesday. Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) were also held out of practice, leaving fourth-round rookie DeeJay Dallas as the only healthy running back on the roster. Homer could potentially wind up being Seattle's lead back versus the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8 if Carson and Hyde are out but he's able to play. The 49ers are allowing the ninth-fewest rushing yards per game (106.3).

Homer has rushed 18 times for 68 yards and caught 3 passes (4 targets) for 7 yards and 1 touchdown this season. He hasn't had more than 5 touches in any game. Out of the 81 backs with at least 15 carries this season, Homer is adding the fourth-fewest Rushing Net Expected Points per carry.
