Britain Covey News

Covey has yet to log an offensive snap, but he has served as one of the Eagles' primary punt returners through three games this season. He has tallied 61 total yards in that role.

Covey once again served as Philadelphia's primary punt returner while playing eight special-teams snaps during Sunday's win, netting 34 yards on five returns and two fair catches. The rookie out of Utah also muffed one of his returns but quickly recovered the fumble for no gain. After being elevated from the practice squad in each of the past three weeks, Covey will require a spot on the Eagles' active roster in order to continue returning punts for the team this season.

This will be the third consecutive week Covey is active for the Eagles and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to play. The 25-year-old wideout has played exclusively on special teams through two games this season.

Covey has been called up to the active roster for each of the team's first two games. The rookie has operated as the team's punt returner, and totaled 14 yards on three returns in their 24-7 win over the Vikings on Monday. Covey can be elevated one more time before he'll need to be signed to the active roster.

Covey will get the move up from Philadelphia's practice squad for the second straight week after recording 13 punt-return yards over his four special-teams snaps in Week 1. The rookie out of Utah did not line up for a single offensive play last week, but he figures to once again serve as one of the Eagles' top return specialists alongside Quez Watkins against Minnesota.

Covey returned two punts for 13 total yards after being elevated from Philadelphia's practice squad ahead of Sunday's season opener against Detroit. The rookie wideout did not make any further impact outside of his four special-teams snaps. Covey is now eligible for two more elevations from the Eagles' practice squad moving forward this season.
