Covey has 11 receptions over the past two years for the Eagles, where he’s worked mainly as a returner before suffering a scapula injury that placed him on injured reserve after Week 3. He was practicing ahead of the Super Bowl but was not activated before the game. He’ll try to catch on as a depth piece with the Rams.

Covey caught just 7-of-8 targets for 34 yards last year but is capable of contributing as a punt returner. The shifty, 5-foot-8, 173-pound player forced six missed tackles on six total punt returns, averaging 7.7 yards per. A new team will likely come calling at some point.

Covey practiced in full throughout the week, but the Eagles don’t have a roster spot to spare for him. He is currently on injured reserve and would take up a roster spot if activated. Cooper DeJean will handle the point return duties versus Kansas City.

Covey is technically still on injured reserve but the Eagles activated his 21-day practice window earlier today. While he is not expected to meaningfully contribute as a wide receiver, his return to the primary punt returner role is certainly helpful.
