LAKE FOREST, Ill., — Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles has added another piece for Ben Johnson's offense here in 2025. Just a few days after hosting a pair of veteran wide receivers at Halas Hall, the Bears have agreed to a one-year deal with wide receiver Devin Duvernay.
Duvernay, an AP First-Team All-Pro selection (2021) as a return specialist and two-time Pro Bowler (2021-22), joins the Bears after spending his first five professional seasons as a member of the Baltimore Ravens (2020-23) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2024). Since entering the league as a third-round selection (92nd overall) by Baltimore in the 2020 NFL Draft, Duvernay has appeared in 72 career games, starting 25 at wide receiver, amassing 977 receiving yards on 105 receptions (9.3 avg.) and five receiving touchdowns, as well as 222 yards on 31 rushing attempts (7.2 avg.) and one rushing score.
In the return phase, Duvernay owns a career punt return average of 12.0, as well as a kickoff return average of 24.9. Duvernay earned AP First-Team All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl nod in 2021 after finishing the season as the NFL's only returner to rank in the Top 10 in both punt return average (13.8, first) and kickoff return average (24.1, seventh). A Sachse, Texas, native, Duvernay appeared in 52 career games at the University of Texas (2016-19), capping his tenure in 2019 with first-team all-conference recognition after leading all Big 12 Conference wide receivers in receptions (106) and receiving yards (1,341).
The Bears also re-singed running back Travis Homer to a one-year deal, adding another piece to the backfield and a player with special teams value.
