The Baltimore Ravens put return man Devin Duvernay on injured reserve Tuesday and signed quarterback Malik Cunningham off the New England Patriots’ practice squad, per reports.
Duvernay sustained a back injury during Sunday’s 37-31 overtime win against the Los Angeles Rams. He will miss the last four games of the regular season for Baltimore (10-3) but does not need surgery and could return for the playoffs, NFL Network reported.
Duvernay, 26, was an All-Pro in 2021 and made the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2022 as a return specialist. In 13 games this season he has averaged 12.6 yards per punt return and 19.3 per kickoff return.
Replacing Duvernay on the roster with Cunningham will reunite the signal-caller with former Louisville teammate Lamar Jackson.
Cunningham, 25, overlapped with the Ravens’ starting quarterback at Louisville when he redshirted for Jackson’s final season in 2017. Cunningham passed for 9,664 yards and 70 touchdowns with the Cardinals.
Cunningham signed with New England this offseason as an undrafted free agent. Baltimore already has QBs Tyler Huntley and Josh Johnson on the 53-man roster.
