Covey (shoulder) had his arm in a sling after Sunday's 15-12 win over the Saints, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
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.
