Duvernay returned five kickoffs for 120 yards in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Though Duvernay has been active for every game this season, his role has been contained exclusively to special teams. He has yet to log a snap on offense through five contests and is averaging 25.0 yards per kickoff return and 11.4 yards per punt return.

The Bears signed Duvernay to the active roster Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Duvernay is back with the Bears one day after being released by the team. The 2020 third-rounder is expected to play a larger role on special teams as a returner than he is on offense. He logged 351 yards on kick returns and 167 yards on punt returns across 13 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2024, but he recorded only 11 catches (on 16 targets) for 79 yards that season.

Duvernay was released by the Bears on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Duvernay wasn't targeted and returned two punts for 15 yards during Jacksonville's Week 18 loss to Indianapolis.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
