One day after they created two roster openings, the Bears promoted running back Travis Homer and defensive end Jacob Martin from injured reserve Saturday. The team also promoted veteran safety Tarvarius Moore in advance of their Sunday afternoon game at the Commanders.
Martin started the season on IR because of a toe injury, while Homer hurt his finger and was put on IR on Sept. 21. Both practiced this week and were listed as questionable for the game on Friday.
To make room for the two, the Bears waived receive-turned-running back Velus Jones and cut fullback Khari Blasingame.
Jones, a 2022 third-round draft pick who switched positions during training camp, hadn’t been on the Bears’ gameday roster since he fumbled a kickoff in Week 1. Blasingame had watched as offensive lineman Doug Kramer was used at fullback in short-yardage situations.
Backup t ackle Larry Borom, who returned to practice off IR this week, was not promoted to the active roster.
The 4-2 Bears made the announcement on Saturday as they prepared to fly to the Washington, D.C., area.
