Report: Bears sign 2-time Pro Bowl return man Devin Duvernay

CHICAGO (WGN) — The Chicago Bears continue to tinker with their roster as the NFL draft approaches. On Wednesday, the team reportedly added a speedster return man to their wide receivers’ room.

According to the Bears, they and wide receiver Devin Duvernay agreed on a 1-year deal.

Duvernay has played in 72 games, making 25 starts across five seasons for the Baltimore Ravens (2020-23) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2024). The Texas-alum’s best years in the league came in 2021 and 2022, when he was voted to back-to-back Pro Bowls and named first-team All-Pro (2021) on the merits of his return game.

Duvernay led the NFL in yards per punt return in 2021 and has two kickoff returns for a touchdown to his name—a 93-yarder as a rookie against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020, and a 103-yarder in 2022 against the Miami Dolphins.

He has 105 catches for 977 yards in his career as a receiver. Duvernay’s best season receiving came in 2022 when he reeled in 37 catches for 407 yards and three TD receptions.
