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.

Impact 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.

Signs to active roster Covey was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.

Impact 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 '23 campaigns. That's where Covey could see action Friday against the Bears, especially with Xavier Gipson dealing with a shoulder injury and coming off a fumble last week against the Cowboys.

Returns to Philadelphia The Eagles signed Covey to the practice squad Thursday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Let go by Rams The Rams waived Covey on Tuesday.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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 their initial 53-man roster.

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.

Impact 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 likely final) wideout on the Rams' potential 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.

AUGUST 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes most of two touches Covey caught both of his targets for 31 yards during Saturday's 31-21 preseason win versus the Cowboys.

Impact The former Eagles wideout notched a nifty 26-yard gain on a deep pass from Stetson Bennett, but didn't get an opportunity to showcase his skills as a return man, which was his primary role back in Philadelphia. Xavier Smith is his primary competition for that role with the Rams, and his incumbent status likely has the edge over Covey so far to retain the role. The most likely outcome for Covey is a spot on the practice squad and a role if injuries befall the wide receiver corps.

Gets one-year deal with Rams Los Angeles signed Covey (neck) to a one-year contract Monday.

Impact Covey spent last year with the Eagles, securing seven of eight targets for 34 yards across his five regular-season appearances. A neck injury sustained Week 13 forced Covey to land on IR, and though he resumed practicing in full late during the playoffs, he wasn't able to gain clearance in time to suit up for Philadelphia's win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Now healthy, Covey will compete for an opportunity to earn a depth role with the Rams.

Ruled out for Super Bowl Covey (neck), who remains on IR, practiced in full Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

Impact Covey won't be activated from IR in time to contribute for the Super Bowl, despite his evident health at practice. In addition to his efforts as a punt returner, the 27-year-old logged seven catches for 34 yards on eight targets across his five regular-season appearances.

Logs full practice Wednesday Covey (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Covey hasn't played since Week 13 due to a neck injury, which was severe enough for him to be placed on injured reserve in late December. If he can log full practices all week, then Covey would have a shot at being activated from IR ahead of Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs on Sunday. The 27-year-old wideout caught seven passes (on eight targets) for 34 yards across five regular-season games.

Listed as questionable Covey (neck) is listed as questionable for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 against the Chiefs.

Impact Covey was limited in practice all week and remains on injured reserve. The return man and depth receiver hasn't played since Week 13 and has seen action on just 50 offensive snaps all season. Covey will have another week of practice to get ready for the Super Bowl.

Ruled out to face Washington Covey (neck), who remains on IR, was limited in practice Friday and is ruled out for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Commanders.

Impact Covey logged three consecutive 'limited' practice sessions this week, but he won't be activated to the 53-man roster in time for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Washington. His next chance to return will arrive if Philadelphia advances to the Super Bowl via a win over the Commanders.

Practice window opens The Eagles announced Wednesday that Covey (neck) has been designated for return from IR, which opens his 21-day practice window, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Impact Covey is being designated to return to practice at his earliest date of eligibility, which may bode well for his chances for gaining clearance to play in time for Sunday's home NFC Championship Game against the Commanders. Once he's gained full medical clearance and retakes the field, the third-year wideout will contribute in a depth role on offense, as well as taking work in the return game.
