Bears coach says the quiet part out loud about Travis Homer's value to roster

The Chicago Bears have been able to find some hidden gems who make an impact on special teams and hang around for a long time because of it.

One great example is cornerback Josh Blackwell, who hasn't played much defense but has more on special teams. The Bears felt his impact this season when he got the game-winning block in the Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

While the Bears fan base has not focused as much on special teams, there is one guy who has recently returned from injury who will only enhance the play of the unit: running back Travis Homer.
