Who Should I Start? Devin Duvernay or Tyler Scott

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.

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson and wide receiver Tyler Scott are both healthy scratches for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. This news offers some insight into the Bears' offensive pecking order this year, with Johnson's absence being particularly interesting. He was a fourth-round pick in 2023 and made a solid impression as a rookie last year, but the Bears will opt for Travis Homer as their third-string running back behind starter D'Andre Swift and backup Khalil Herbert. Scott's absence is less of a surprise but still noteworthy considering he played 17 games in 2023 and is coming off a solid preseason. Regardless of Scott's availability, DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze are locked in as the Bears' top three receivers.
