• Eagles' Britain Covey: Won't need shoulder surgery

  09/26/2024 • By RotoWire

  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. 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. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) tending to health concerns.

  The Eagles placed Covey (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday. 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.

  Covey underwent a procedure on his left knee this offseason, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. 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.
