Jaguars open WR Devin Duvernay’s injured reserve practice window

The Jaguars opened wide receiver and return specialist Devin Duvernay’s 21-day injured reserve practice window on Wednesday.

Jacksonville placed Duvernay on its injured reserve Oct. 9 after he suffered a hamstring injury against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5, sidelining their primary kickoff and punt returner for at least four games.

Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington and running back Tank Bigsby have largely filled in for Duvernay in those special teams roles.

Duvernay joined the Jaguars on a two-year, $8.5 million free-agency deal this offseason after spending the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens.

Over the first five weeks of the season, Duvernay returned five kickoffs for 20 yards per return, seven punts for 11.6 yards per return, caught one pass for a one-yard loss and rushed three times for 10 yards.

Duvernay logged 94 receptions for 898 yards and five touchdowns, 27 rushing attempts for 219 yards and one score, and averaged 24.5 yards per kickoff return with two touchdowns and 12.8 yards per punt return with the Ravens.
