Won't need shoulder surgery
Covey said Thursday that he won't require surgery on the shoulder injury that forced his placement on injured reserve Tuesday, and he'll be out approximately six weeks, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Covey clarified that he suffered two fractures in the shoulder in question, which he sustained this past Sunday at New Orleans, and a stint on IR means he must miss at least the next four games. Because the Eagles have a Week 5 bye, he may be able to return to action when first eligible Sunday, Nov. 3 against the Jaguars. In the meantime, Cooper DeJean is expected to handle punt returns for Philadelphia, while Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson are the healthy WRs on the active roster with A.J.…read more

Heads to IR
The Eagles placed Covey (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Though the Eagles haven't provided a precise diagnosis of the shoulder injury Covey sustained in Sunday's 15-12 win over the Saints, his move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least the next four games. Philadelphia signed tight end Jack Stoll to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move, while Cooper DeJean is likely in line to serve as the Eagles' punt returner in Covey's absence.

Arm in sling after Week 3 win
Covey (shoulder) had his arm in a sling after Sunday's 15-12 win over the Saints, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Covey and DeVonta Smith (concussion) both exited the game, and the Eagles were already without wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring). While Covey isn't nearly as integral to the offense as Brown or Smith, Covey also fills an important special teams role as Philadelphia's punt returner. Cooper DeJean filled in as the punt returner after Covey's exit and would likely retain that role if the wide receiver is unable to suit up against the Buccaneers in Week 4.

Ruled out Sunday
Covey (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game in New Orleans, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Covey thus will finish Week 3 with one catch (on one target) for 11 yards. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) inactive, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell are the current healthy wide receivers on the Eagles' active roster.

Injures shoulder Sunday
Covey suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans.
Analysis: Covey took advantage of A.J. Brown's (hamstring) absence Week 2 against the Falcons, hauling in all six of his targets for 23 yards. However, he was targeted only once (an 11-yard catch) before exiting Sunday in the second quarter. Currently, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell are the healthy wide receivers on the Eagles' active roster.

Reels in six grabs
Covey reeled in all six of his targets for 23 yards in Monday's 22-21 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: With A.J. Brown (hamstring) sidelined Monday, Covey saw an increase in his playing time and target share Week 2. The third-year wideout's six targets and six catches were second to only DeVonta Smith among Philadelphia's pass catchers. Operating as the Eagles' fourth wide receiver on a team flush with playmakers, Covey will more often than not see limited opportunities in Philadelphia's offense once Brown returns from his injury. However, with Brown likely to miss the Eagles' Week 3 game…read more

Taking part in OTAs
Covey (knee) participated in the Eagles' offseason practice Thursday, per Glenn Erby of USA Today.
Analysis: Covey had knee surgery in the offseason but appears to have recovered well given his ability to participate in the practice session. The 27-year-old is slated to work as Philadelphia's primary punt/kick returner in 2024 and should also see some limited work as a receiver in the team's passing game.

Has knee surgery
Covey underwent a procedure on his left knee this offseason, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: The punt returner noted it likely contributed to the nagging quad issue he dealt with during the season, per McLane. As a receiver, Covey caught four balls for 42 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games in 2023, though he did averaged the second-most yards per punt return (14.4) in the league. In 17 games in 2022 with the Eagles, Covey did not record a catch.

Almost exclusively on special teams
Covey appeared in 16 regular-season games but was almost exclusively used as a kick and punt returner, catching just four passes for 42 yards.
Analysis: Covey played all 17 games in 2022 without being targeted a single time, so his six targets in 2023 represent a step forward. Five of those targets came in Week 18, with the Eagles resting starters for part of the game, so there's little reason to believe Covey is a threat for even double-digit receptions next season.

Stuck in special-teams role
Covey played all three of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Covey's standing as the team's top punt returner rather than his contributions as a receiver have enabled him to be active for all 12 of the Eagles' games this season. The Utah product has yet to draw a target over 39 career snaps on offense through 29 games over his first two seasons in the league.

Good to go Sunday
Covey (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Covey left Philadelphia's Week 4 win over Washington late with a head injury, but he's since cleared concussion protocol and has no injury designation this coming Sunday. The Utah product is the Eagles' main punt returner, tallying 151 return yards on nine chances this season.

Gets questionable tag for Week 5
Covey (concussion) is listed as questionable to play against the Rams on Sunday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Covey entered concussion protocol Monday after suffering a head injury late in Sunday's win over Washington. He didn't practice Wednesday but promisingly followed a limited session Thursday with a full practice Friday. That seems to give Covey a good chance of playing Sunday -- if he's able to do so, he'll likely continue to feature as the Eagles' primary punt returner.

Manages limited practice Thursday
Covey (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Covey missed practice entirely Wednesday, so his limited participation Thursday represents a positive development. He still probably needs to practice fully Friday to avoid an injury designation headed into the weekend, though.

Misses practice Wednesday
Covey (concussion) was a non-participant at the Eagles' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Covey's absence comes as no surprise considering he entered concussion protocols Monday. The return specialist faces an uphill battle to be able to play Sunday against the Rams.

Enters protocols
Covey suffered a head injury late in Sunday's win over the Commanders and has entered the league's concussion protocols, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Covey will need to clear the league's five-step process to be able to suit up Week 5 against the Rams, which will likely be a tall task for the Utah product. Assuming he is unable to play, Boston Scott and Olamide Zaccheaus will be candidates to handle return duties on the road against the Rams on Sunday.

Upgraded to full Thursday
Covey (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: It's an upgrade after Covey was limited Wednesday. The Eagles' return man, Covey has six punt returns for 113 yards, including a long gain of 52 yards.

Dealing with hamstring issue
Covey was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Through three games, Covey is averaging a robust 18.8 yards on his six punt returns while also recording one 30-yard kick return. The 26-year-old is now tending to a hamstring issue that could sap some of his explosiveness in the short term, though his ability to open the week as a limited participant at least bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Commanders.

Joins 53-man roster
The Eagles signed Covey off their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Covey was elevated from the practice squad for both of the team's first two games of the season, but he'll now get a more permanent spot on the 53-man roster. The second-year player out of Utah should operate as a depth option at receiver and continue to work as the Eagles' top punt returner.

Goes back to practice squad
Covey reverted to Philadelphia's practice squad Friday.
Analysis: After playing exclusively on special teams in Week 2, Covey will head back to the practice squad. The Eagles will be able to elevate him once more this season before they'd have to sign him to the active roster to make him available.

Gets elevation to 53-man roster
Philadelphia elevated Covey from its practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of its game versus Minnesota on Thursday.
Analysis: After suiting up and playing exclusively on special teams in Week 1, Covey will once again be available for the Eagles in Week 2. He is a good candidate to return punts, but it's not very likely he will see many offensive snaps unless Philadelphia jumps out to an insurmountable lead early.

Back to practice squad
Covey reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Covey logged five snaps on special teams and logged two punt returns for a combined 30 yards in the team's 25-20 win over the Patriots in Week 1. The wide receiver will now wait for his next chance to be elevated to the active roster.

Added to active roster
Covey was elevated to the Eagles' active roster Saturday.
Analysis: The 26-year-old was waived by Philadelphia on Aug. 29 before agreeing to join their practice squad one day later. Covey will add depth to the Eagles' special teams unit, as he was primarily used for returning punts and kicks last year. The Utah product appeared in 16 games for the Eagles during his rookie campaign, racking up 514 total return yards.

Back with Philadelphia
Covey is signing with the Eagles' practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Covey was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday but will rejoin the organization a day later. He appeared in 17 games with Philadelphia last year and could join the 53-man roster at some point if the team's receivers deal with injuries.

Gets cut loose
Covey was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, John Clark reports.
Analysis: Covey's exit comes as a bit of a surprise after he appeared in 17 games with the team last season. He was in the mix for a depth receiver role as well as return duties. The Utah product should be considered a likely candidate for the practice squad and someone who could possibly still find his way to the 53-man roster.

Returns to practice
Covey (hamstring) is practicing Sunday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Covey's hamstring issue has held him back for a couple of weeks now. His return comes at a good time with final cuts due Tuesday as teams set their 53-man rosters. The Utah product operated as the team's return man last season, and he'll continue to work to earn that role again in 2023.

Analysis: Covey was on the sidelines Saturday, and after the game head coach Nick Sirianni explained that it was due to a hamstring issue. More information on his status will likely be provided later this week. Once healthy, the wide receiver is expected to be a top option to return kickoffs and punts this season.

Returns to practice squad
Covey reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Covey once again served as Philadelphia's primary punt returner while playing eight special-teams snaps Sunday, 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.

Analysis: 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.
