Duvernay (foot) participated in Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duvernay, who underwent surgery in December to address a broken fifth metatarsal in his foot, continues to make solid progress and will now look to carve out a role in a Ravens wideout corps that also includes fellow rehabbing receiver Rashod Bateman (foot), along with newcomers Odell Beckham, Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor. In light of the new additions to the roster, Duvernay doesn't have a clear path to steady targets in 2023, but he should settle back in as the Ravens' top return man.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Duvernay (foot) has been working hard and "kind of building his stamina back up" this spring.
EDGE Analysis
Duvernay suffered a broken fifth metatarsal Dec. 20 and didn't resume running until the spring. He's been doing some on-field activities at the first few OTA sessions but still has limitations five months removed from the major injury. Duvernay averaged only 3.5 targets per game last season despite starting in 13 of his 14 appearances, and he's likely sliding down the depth chart after the Ravens added wideouts Odell Beckham, Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor this offseason. Duvernay is still likely to return punts and kickoffs once he's healthy, and the players in front of him for reps on offense don't have the best track records for durability or reliability.

Duvernay (foot) has resumed running as he continues to make progress in his recovery from surgery to address a broken fifth metatarsal, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duvernay expressed positivity about his current physical condition, so it looks like he remains on track to recover before training camp. The wideout suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot during practice late last December. A Pro Bowl return man and capable slot receiver, Duvernay can look forward to some stability on offense once he's healthy, with Lamar Jackson having been re-signed. Of course, the additions of Odell Beckham and rookie first-rounder Zay Flowers stand to cap his opportunities.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he expects Duvernay (foot) to be with the team for 2023, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Banner reports.
EDGE Analysis
There's been talk of Duvernay becoming a cap casualty after a second Pro Bowl nod activated a contract escalator that pushes his salary to a non-guaranteed $4.3 million for the fourth and final season of his rookie contract. It's a reasonable number, and arguably even a bargain, given that he's been a top-notch return man on both punts and kickoffs while also manning the slot on offense. There is some question about his health this offseason after Duvernay suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot during a Dec. 20 practice, though he should have enough time to recover before training camp even if he misses OTAs and minicamp. He finished 2022 with career highs in every major receiving stat, including YPR and YPT, yet still averaged only 3.5 targets per game and thus offered little in the way of fantasy value outside of return-yardage leagues.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Thursday that Duvernay suffered a broken fifth metatarsal of his right foot during Tuesday's practice, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports. "[It was] out of the blue. He felt something [while running a route]," Harbaugh said. "We didn't know how serious is was or wasn't until later, and they got the X-rays back and it was just a broken fifth metatarsal."
EDGE Analysis
Duvernay was shuttled to injured reserve just hours after suffering the injury, opening up a spot on the 53-man roster for waiver-wire pickup Sammy Watkins in the process. Harbaugh seemed to suggest that Duvernay won't need surgery to address the injury, with the coach noting that the receiver will have a chance to return for the Super Bowl, should the Ravens be able to make an improbable postseason run. For all intents and purposes, however, Duvernay's 2022 season can be considered over, with the Ravens set to move forward with Demarcus Robinson, DeSean Jackson, Watkins and James Proche as their available options at receiver

Duvernay sustained a broken foot during Tuesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Ravens placed Duvernay on injured reserve Tuesday, the exact nature of his injury wasn't revealed. With Duvernay having now been diagnosed with the fractured foot, he'll face a recovery timetable of approximately two months, which rules him out from returning during the postseason even if Baltimore clinches a spot and makes a deep run. With Duvernay sidelined, Demarcus Robinson, DeSean Jackson, Sammy Watkins and James Proche are candidates to see increased roles in Baltimore's passing game.

The Ravens placed Duvernay (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The nature of the injury Duvernay suffered during Tuesday's practice still isn't fully known, but the Ravens evidently determined the issue was significant enough to sideline the receiver for the remaining three games of the regular season as well as the first round of the postseason, should Baltimore secure a spot. In response to Duvernay's injury, the Ravens claimed Sammy Watkins off waivers from the Packers on Tuesday, adding a healthy body to a depleted receiver room. Tight end Mark Andrews remains the Ravens' clear top option in the passing game, but the absence of Duvernay should at least open up more playing time and perhaps an extra target or two for the likes of Demarcus Robinson, DeSean Jackson, Watkins and James Proche.

Duvernay suffered a foot injury during Tuesday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ravens reportedly are concerned it's a significant injury and have Duvernay undergoing tests Tuesday afternoon. He hasn't seen many targets recently, but Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson have dominated the WR snaps for Baltimore the past month and a half. The Ravens claimed Sammy Watkins off waivers Tuesday in a move that arguably made sense even without the Duvernay injury.

Duvernay failed to secure his only target in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Duvernay was a complete nonfactor Sunday, as the veteran wideout was failed to recored a single reception for the first time this season. With Lamar Jackson (knee) sidelined, the Ravens offense attempted just 17 passes in the contest. Tyler Huntley completed eight of his 12 pass attempts for 88 yards before suffering a concussion. In relief, undrafted rookie quarterback Anthony Brown completed just three of his five passes for 16 yards. With Jackson sidelined, it is hard to trust any of Baltimore's pass catchers going forward. Regardless of who starts at quarterback in Week 15 on the road against Cleveland, Duvernay projects as a risky play for fantasy purposes. Nonetheless, the 25-year-old will look to have a bounce back performance against the Browns in a divisional showdown.

Duvernay secured all six targets for 34 yards, returned three kickoffs for 62 yards and returned one punt for three yards in the Ravens' 10-9 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Duvernay finished second on Baltimore in receptions and third in both receiving yards and targets, but outside of his long reception of 13 yards, he posted just 21 on his other five catches. Duvernay's catch total was also a season high, giving him some momentum heading into a Week 14 road matchup versus the Steelers.
