BREAKING: #1 Seed Baltimore Ravens Designate Key WR to Return from IR.
The affluent will become richer, as the Baltimore Ravens are receiving reinforcements during their well-earned postseason bye week. Considering that the Ravens have the NFL’s best record, they seemed to be perfectly fine shorthanded. Still, head coach John Harbaugh should be delighted about Devin Duvernay’s return to practice after landing on the IR in December.
When it concerns receiving, Devin Duvernay’s presence isn’t what excites Baltimore’s coaching staff. He only has nine targets entire season, hauling in four of them for 18 yards. In his four-year career, Duvernay has 94 receptions for 898 yards and five touchdowns. Nice numbers, but far from eye-popping.
Rather, it is his work on special teams that made him an All-Pro in 2021. Duvernay has been a consistently great return man for the Ravens during his career. Even though he missed a few games this season, he still led the club in punt returning and kick returns. Special teams have shown over the years to make or break a team’s Super Bowl prospects during the playoffs.
The Baltimore Ravens Need All Hands on Deck
With the NFL’s greatest defense and an offense that finished the season fourth in scoring, the Baltimore Ravens know that the group in their locker room is exceptional. Their good season was highlighted by a 14-point road win against the 49ers, a team that’s favored to win the NFC. If the Baltimore Ravens could beat them like that (on enemy territory), they have to feel unbeatable.
Yet, playing and winning their upcoming games will involve avoiding game-breaking blunders. Although Tylan Wallace filled in brilliantly for Duvernay, scoring the team’s first punt/kick return TD of the season to win a game, Wallace isn’t as sure-handed fielding kicks. John Harbaugh may question his brother Jim about Kyle Williams, and the price of special teams mistakes. Devin Duvernay is essential for this Ravens squad, which is targeting a Super Bowl.
