Britain Covey’s Return Ticket to Philly | NFL News

0:00A September 7th, word on the street is Britain. Covey is looking like the guy to handle putt returns for the Eagles this season. He's not on the main 53 man roster right now, but he's been on the practice squad, and it sounds like he's the favorite to get called up on game days. This isn't exactly new territory for Covey. He's been cudd before, even by the Rams, but he always finds his way back onto the practice squad. It's like he's got a return ticket to the team, ready to go when they need him. He came into the league undrafted out of Utah back in 2021. The Eagles scooped him up, and while he's done a little bit of receiving, his real value has been on special teams as a returner. Over four seasons, he's handled 79 pun returns, racking up 895 yards. That's an average of over 11 yards a return, which is pretty solid. He's also done some kick returns, averaging over 22 yards. With the offseason not producing a clear replacement, bringing Covey back makes a lot of sense. He's already in the building, so it's just a matter of them officially putting him in that role when the time comes.
