Released by Chicago Duvernay was released by the Bears on Wednesday.

Impact The wide receiver signed a one-year deal with Chicago in March but ended up falling short of the 53-man roster in a crowded receiver room led by DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. Duvernay has just 15 catches for 97 yards over the last two regular seasons with the Jaguars and Ravens, and he last caught an NFL touchdown in 2022 with Baltimore. Now, the 2020 third-round pick of the Ravens will look for his next opportunity.

Suffers pregame injury Duvernay (undisclosed) suffered a pregame injury before Sunday's 38-0 preseason win over the Bills, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Duvernay did not appear in the contest after sustaining an undisclosed injury before kickoff. The wide receiver will have a shorter turnaround before Friday's preseason finale with the Chiefs, so his status will be worth monitoring at practice.

Bears Sign Two-Time Pro Bowl Return Specialist to One-Year Contract Devin Duvernay is joining the Chicago Bears after a one-year stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

MARCH 19, 2025 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Finds home in Chicago Duvernay agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract with the Bears, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Duvernay joins Chicago as a return specialist capable of also contributing in a depth role at wide receiver behind DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Olamide Zaccheaus. He suited up for 13 regular-season games with Jacksonville in 2024 but was cut by the team early March in order to clear up cap space. Duvernay is unlikely to emerge as a significant contributor on offense for Chicago and therefore holds little fantasy value, aside from unique formats that allot a premium to return yardage.

Cut loose by the Jags Duvernay was released by the Jaguars on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The wide receiver finished 2024 with 11 catches for 79 yards and no touchdowns in 13 games, though he also contributed 351 kickoff-return yards and 167 punt-return yards. Duvernay, a two-time Pro Bowl return man, signed a two-year deal with the Jaguars last March after playing out his rookie contract with the Ravens, but he was caught in a series of cost-cutting moves by Jacksonville as it tries to clear cap space going into the new league year.

Jags continue makeover by cutting tight end Evan Engram and returner Devin Duvernay

The Jacksonville Jaguars are releasing two-time Pro Bowl tight end Evan Engram and returner/receiver Devin Duvernay

MARCH 6, 2025 • Associated Press

No offensive touches Week 18 Duvernay wasn't targeted and returned two punts for 15 yards during Jacksonville's Week 18 loss to Indianapolis.

Impact Duvernay entered the contest with at least one catch in five straight games, but he wasn't targeted in the season finale and played just five offensive snaps. He's primary worked as a return man this season and had 11 catches for 79 yards and four carries for three yards in 13 games. Duvernay is under contract for 2025 but could be cut for a dead money penalty of $1.2 million with just over $2.7 million in savings, so there's a chance he's cut loose during the offseason.

JANUARY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Less involved offenisively Duvernay caught his only target for three yards and returned four punts for 37 yards during Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders.

Impact The return man entered the contest with multiple receptions in the previous three games, but he played a lesser offensive role Sunday as nine different Jacksonville players caught at least one ball. Duvernay played fewer offensive snaps than Josh Reynolds, but Brian Thomas and Parker Washington only the only Jacksonville wideouts consistently involved in the offense at this point.

HIGHLIGHT | Devin Duvernay's 26-Yard Punt Return Gets Jags Into Raiders Territory Quickly Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Devin Duvernay's 26-yard punt return gets Jags into Las Vegas Raiders territory quickly.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • JAGUARS.COM

Decent involvement Week 15 Duvernay caught three of four targets for 42 yards, returned two kickoffs for 63 yards and returned two punts for 12 yards during Sunday's loss to the Jets.

Impact Josh Reynolds made his Jacksonville debut but garnered just one target on 27 offensive snaps as Duvernay retained his role has the team's No. 3 wide receiver. The return man has been more involved in the offense of late with eight catches for 73 yards over the past three weeks, but he doesn't have much fantasy utility.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Retains minor offensive role Duvernay rushed once for minus-seven yards, caught all three targets for eight yards and returned two punts for eight yards during Sunday's 10-6 win over the Titans.

Impact The return man operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver and played 29 of 59 offensive snaps, but his targets in the passing game were limited to short routes. Duvernay could see even fewer offensive chances down the stretch with Josh Reynolds -- who was claimed off waivers Wednesday -- likely to enter the mix after being inactive against Tennessee.

Jaguars have a chance at a December surge with games against other woeful teams ahead

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a chance at a late-season surge, even with quarterback Trevor Lawrence sidelined

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • Associated Press

Makes first impact as receiver Duvernay caught two of four targets for 23 yards, returned three kickoffs for 68 yards and one punt for five yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.

Impact Duvernay entered the weekend having played a minimal offensive role this season, but he saw a season-high 39 offensive snaps and produced his first positive receiving yardage of the season. The 27-year-old operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver ahead of Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks, though none of those three wideouts are likely to have fantasy viability, especially if Mac Jones finishes the campaign as the club's starting quarterback.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Sunday Duvernay (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Duvernay will suit up for the first time since Week 5 after he completed a four-game stint on injured reserve while he recovered from a hamstring strain. In his first five outings with the Jaguars, Duvernay drew just one target and carried three times for 10 yards, but he could see his role on offense expand a bit after fellow wideout Christian Kirk (collarbone) suffered a season-ending injury Week 8. Even if that comes to fruition, Duvernay is still expected to deliver his greatest impact in the return game.

NOVEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off IR on Saturday The Jaguars activated Duvernay (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Duvernay was hurt in Jacksonville's Week 5 victory against Indianapolis and subsequently was placed on IR. He was designated to return this past Wednesday and has now been activated. Duvernay could thus suit up Sunday versus Minnesota, which would be a boost to the Jaguars' passing game with both Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) questionable to play in the contest.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to resume practicing The Jaguars designated Duvernay (lower body) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact A two-time Pro Bowl return man during the first four seasons of his career in Baltimore, Duvernay signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Jaguars in the spring. He suited up in each of Jacksonville's first five games and primarily served on special teams, logging just one reception and carrying three times for 10 yards before landing on IR on Oct. 9. After sitting out the last four games, Duvernay is now healthy enough to practice, and he could be a candidate to return from IR this Sunday against the Vikings if he checks out fine during the week. Once activated, Duvernay will likely continue to provide most of his value in the return game, but he may have an opportunity to see more reps on offense with wideout Christian Kirk (collarbone) done for the season.

Parker Washington sets Jaguars record with a 96-yard punt return for TD in London

Jacksonville receiver Parker Washington scampered 96 yards for the longest punt return touchdown in Jaguars history

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • Associated Press

Shifts to IR The Jaguars placed Duvernay (lower body) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact The 27-year-old sustained a lower-body injury during the Jaguars' Week 5 win over the Colts, and it now appears serious enough to land him on IR. Duvernay accumulated one reception for minus-1 yard and 181 return yards across Jacksonville's first five contests. With the first-year Jaguar sidelined for at least next four games, expect Parker Washington to serve as Jacksonville's top kick and punt returner.

OCTOBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower body injury Duvernay sustained a lower body injury in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Colts, Garry Smits of The Jacksonville Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Duvernay played a significant role in the Jaguars' Week 5 win, as his 53-yard punt return set up a Tank Bigsby touchdown run in the third quarter. Head coach Doug Pederson sounded concerned about Duvernay when discussing the Jaguars' injuries Monday, explaining that Duvernay is "going to be the big one." If the Texas product is unable to suit up in Week 6, expect Parker Washington to assume Jacksonville's top kick and punt return duties.
