Eagles' Britain Covey: Won't return Monday
Covey (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest versus the Cowboys.
Covey appeared to injure his knee during the opening kickoff Monday, and Philadelphia will now have to finish the game without him. All of his snaps so far this season have come on special teams, and Elijah Moore and Dameon Pierce are the next men up in the return game for the Eagles.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Injures knee, questionable to return
Covey (knee) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Covey appeared to sustain the injury on the game's opening kickoff, which he returned for 18 yards, and he's being monitored by medical staff to determine whether he can re-enter Monday's contest. Elijah Moore and Dameon Pierce will serve as the Eagles' returners on punts and kickoffs for as long as Covey is out of the game.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Signs to active roster
The Eagles signed Covey to the active roster Tuesday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Covey returned four punts for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Commanders. The wide receiver's production on special teams has now earned him a spot on the 53-man roster. It remains to be seen if Covey has earned additional responsibilities for next Sunday's game against the Titans.

Britain Covey: Reverts to Philly's practice squad
Covey reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Covey saw six special-teams snaps the Eagles' win over the Commanders on Sunday, returning four punts for 37 yards. While Covey's average of 9.3 yards per punt return was impressive, it remains to be seen if he'll be elevated for a Week 2 road matchup against the Titans.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Elevated for Week 1
The Eagles elevated Covey from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
With the entirety of the Eagles' wide receiver corps healthy, Covey was likely elevated for his value on special teams. There is a good chance Covey takes punt and kick return reps away from Makai Lemon and Will Shipley, keeping the wide receiver and running back fresh for offensive possessions.

Britain Covey: Signs with Philly's practice squad
The Eagles signed Covey to the practice squad Monday.
The Eagles let Covey go during Sunday's cutdown day. The wide receiver had a strong enough training camp to receive an invitation back to the team's practice squad. Covey participated in all three preseason games, catching five of his eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Catches two passes in exhibition finale
Covey played 29 offensive snaps in Friday's preseason loss to the Bengals, catching two of four targets for 20 yards.
Covey dealt with a hamstring issue in early August but was able to suit up for all three of Philadelphia's preseason contests. He caught five of eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown during those games and also returned four punts for 38 yards. Covey hasn't done much as a pass catcher to this point in his NFL career, so his tough path to making the 53-man roster is probably more tied to his ability to return kicks.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Limited in practice Monday
Covey (hamstring) was a limited participant in Monday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Covey has been absent with a hamstring issue since last Wednesday, so a return to limited participation is a good sign for the punt returner's recovery. Any extended absence on Covey's part could open the door for Will Shipley or Tank Bigsby to make a case for the role of primary punt returner.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Still not practicing
Covey (hamstring) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Covey has been working through a hamstring injury that has caused him to miss training camp practices. He's battling for a depth spot on the Eagles' 53-man roster by the end of training camp, so getting back on the field for reps is crucial for the Utah product. Covey will aim to be available for the Eagles' preseason opener against the Ravens on Saturday, Aug. 15.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Absent with hamstring issue
Covey (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's training camp session, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
It is unclear when Covey suffered the hamstring issue, but it was likely during Tuesday's session. The 29-year-old joins fellow wide receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and rookie Makai Lemon (hamstring) in dealing with the same issue. In response to the apparent hamstring injury bug sweeping the room, the Eagles signed Brandon Hayes to fill in at receiver.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Limited offensive work in 2025
Covey caught two of four targets for 20 yards across six regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he tallied 125 kick-return yards and 124 punt-return yards.
Covey spent most of his 2025 campaign with Philadelphia's practice squad before joining the active roster ahead of Week 13. He was primarily limited to special teams, outside of the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Commanders, when he caught two passes for 20 yards while playing 35 offensive snaps. The Utah product also did not log an offensive snap in the wild-card loss to the 49ers but tallied 61 kick-return yards. Set to enter unrestricted free agency, Covey could find work as a return specialist ahead of the 2026 season.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Logs first offensive snaps of 2025
Covey went without a target while playing four of the Eagles' 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders. He also returned three punts for 22 yards.
Sunday's contest marked the first time Covey received snaps on offense in his three appearances since the Eagles signed him off their practice squad Nov. 27. The 28-year-old is merely a depth piece at receiver and will continue to offer most of his value in the return game.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Signs to active roster
Covey was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
Covey is replacing safety Andrew Mukuba, who suffered an ankle injury last week against Dallas and landed on injured reserve. The wide receiver and return specialist has mostly seen action in the latter role in his career, producing more than 300 punt-return yards in both the 2022 and 2023 campaigns. That's where Covey may see action Friday against the Bears, especially with Xavier Gipson dealing with a shoulder injury and having lost a fumble last week against the Cowboys.

Britain Covey: Returns to Philadelphia
The Eagles signed Covey to the practice squad Thursday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Covey spent the last three seasons with the Eagles, and he has returned to Philadelphia as a member of the practice squad after failing to make the Rams' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Covey appeared in five regular-season games for the Eagles in 2024 and finished with seven catches (on eight targets) for 34 yards.

Britain Covey: Let go by Rams
The Rams waived Covey on Tuesday.
Covey signed a one-year deal with the Rams in March after spending his first three NFL seasons with the Eagles. He finished the preseason with nine catches (on 14 targets) for 76 yards while adding 16 return yards on two punts, but it wasn't enough for the Utah product to crack the Rams' 53-man roster. Covey will have the opportunity to explore his options if he clears waivers, and that includes staying in Los Angeles as a member of the Rams' practice squad.

Rams' Britain Covey: Four catches in preseason finale
Covey secured four of six targets for 32 yards and returned one punt for 14 yards during Saturday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Browns.
The veteran's final appearance in the preseason started off with quarterback Dresser Winn's first target of the game, which fell incomplete. More notable for Covey's chances of making the final 53-man roster was who wasn't out on the field Saturday, as Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield joined Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington as players who head coach Sean McVay chose to rest. Given Covey's rather quiet preseason, his most likely outcome is a spot on the Rams' practice squad, unless the team chooses to keep seven wideouts on its initial 53-man roster.

Rams' Britain Covey: Underwhelming in victory
Covey caught three of six targets for 13 yards and returned one punt for two yards during Saturday's 23-22 preseason victory against the Chargers.
On a day where many of the Rams wideouts battling to make the final cut had excellent games, Covey struggled to get anything going. Xavier Smith, Covey's primary competition for a roster spot, secured all four of his targets for 49 yards and protected his spot as the sixth (and potentially final) wideout on the Rams' initial 53-man roster. Covey will get one last chance to make an impression for his new team against the Browns in next week's preseason finale for the Rams.
