Chicago Bears Sign Devin Duvernay, Re-Sign Travis Homer to Bolster Special Teams

The Bears aim to strengthen their roster with Duvernay, a former All-Pro returner, and Homer, a versatile special teams contributor.

Devin Duvernay, a former All-Pro return specialist, joins the Chicago Bears on a one-year deal after being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars two weeks ago.
Duvernay brings a strong track record with 1,053 punt return yards, 2,162 kickoff return yards, and two touchdowns over five NFL seasons.
Travis Homer, re-signed by the Bears for another year, has contributed on offense and special teams, including six special teams tackles in 2024.
The Bears are addressing roster weaknesses from last season under new leadership, focusing on special teams and offensive line improvements.
Duvernay's addition fills the gap left by former returner DeAndre Carter, while Homer provides continuity in the special teams unit.
