Who Should I Start? Devin Duvernay or David Bell

Thursday, August 28, 7:14 PM

The Chicago Bears announced that they have re-signed wide receiver Devin Duvernay to their active roster one day after releasing him. A third-round pick in 2020, Duvernay spent the first four years of his career with the Baltimore Ravens before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. The 27-year-old hasn't posed much of an offensive threat, having totaled 105 receptions, 977 yards, and five touchdowns in 72 games. Duvernay has stood out on special teams, on the other hand, with a pair of Pro Bowl nods as a return man. He'll mainly serve as a return specialist for the Bears while providing depth in a WR corps led by DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Luther Burden III.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell (hip) announced on his X account on Tuesday that he is retiring from professional football. Bell will call it quits after suffering an off-the-field hip injury that put him on the Non-Football Injury list entering the 2025 season. The 24-year-old was a third-round selection by the Browns in the 2022 NFL draft out of Purdue. He never ended up being much of an asset for the Browns' passing game in his three seasons in the NFL, and his best showing came in his rookie campaign when he caught 24 of his 35 targets for 214 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) in 2022. Bell will finish his short NFL career with 41 receptions, 408 receiving yards, and three touchdowns (all in 2023) in 32 games played (six starts).
