(Pittsburgh, PA) According to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, a source confirms that the Pittsburgh Steelers signed former Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer. ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed that he signed with the Steelers today. Homer serves more as a special teams player than as a running back, because he had just one carry in 2025 in 10 games. He has 90 rushing attempts and one touchdown for his career since he was drafted in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks out of the University of Miami (Florida). The signing of Homer marks the second running back the Steelers have signed this offseason because they also acquired two-time 1,000-yard rusher Rico Dowdle during the first week of the 2026 NFL free agency.
