Duvernay had a slightly more active role at the beginning of the 2021 season due to injuries to Miles Boykin and Rashod Bateman.

The Ravens would win 36–35.[17] The next week against the Detroit Lions, he had first career receiving touchdown on a 19-yard reception in a 19–17 win.[18] He was selected to his first pro bowl as a return specialist that season.
