The Philadelphia Eagles have added a familiar face back to the roster in WR/RS Britain Covey, who signed to the practice squad.

Covey was arguably the best punt returner in the NFL in 2023 , but he did two different stints on IR in 2024 and only played in five games due to a neck injury. During the 2025 offseason, Covey was a restricted free agent, but the Eagles did not offer him a restricted free agent tender. He then became an unrestricted free agent and signed with the Rams. The Rams waived Covey at 53-man cutdowns, and he cleared waivers without a team claiming him.

In Covey's absence last season, Cooper DeJean proved to be an effective enough returner in relief, but DeJean is far too important a player in the regular defense to risk getting hurt on returns.
