Covey reeled in all six of his targets for 23 yards in Monday's 22-21 loss to the Falcons.
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 against the Saints, the 27-year-old could benefit from another expanded role on offense alongside Smith and Jahan Dotson.
