Eagles' Britain Covey: Logs first offensive snaps of 2025
Britain Covey went without a target while playing four of the Philadelphia Eagles' 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders. He also returned three punts for 22 yards.Sunday's contest marked the first time Covey received snaps on offense in his three appearances since the Eagles signed him off their practice squad Nov. 27. The 28-year-old is merely a depth piece at receiver and will continue to offer most of his value in the return game.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Signs to active roster
Britain Covey was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Chris McPherson of the Philadelphia Eagles' official site reports.Covey is replacing safety Andrew Mukuba, who suffered an ankle injury last week against Dallas and landed on injured reserve. The wide receiver and return specialist has mostly seen action in the latter role in his career, producing more than 300 punt-return yards in both the 2022 and 2023 campaigns. That's where Covey may see action Friday against the Bears, especially with Xavier Gipson dealing with a shoulder injury and having lost a fumble last week against the Cowboys.

Britain Covey: Returns to Philadelphia
The Eagles signed Britain Covey to the practice squad Thursday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.Covey spent the last three seasons with the Eagles, and he has returned to Philadelphia as a member of the practice squad after failing to make the Rams' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Covey appeared in five regular-season games for the Eagles in 2024 and finished with seven catches (on eight targets) for 34 yards.

Britain Covey: Let go by Rams
The Rams waived Britain Covey on Tuesday.Covey signed a one-year deal with the Rams in March after spending his first three NFL seasons with the Eagles. He finished the preseason with nine catches (on 14 targets) for 76 yards while adding 16 return yards on two punts, but it wasn't enough for the Utah product to crack the Rams' 53-man roster. Covey will have the opportunity to explore his options if he clears waivers, and that includes staying in Los Angeles as a member of the Rams' practice squad.

Rams' Britain Covey: Four catches in preseason finale
Britain Covey secured four of six targets for 32 yards and returned one punt for 14 yards during Saturday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Browns.The veteran's final appearance in the preseason started off with quarterback Dresser Winn's first target of the game, which fell incomplete. More notable for Covey's chances of making the final 53-man roster was who wasn't out on the field Saturday, as Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield joined Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington as players who head coach Sean McVay chose to rest. Given Covey's rather quiet preseason, his most likely outcome is a spot on the Los Angeles Rams' practice squad, unless the team chooses to keep seven wideouts on its initial 53-man roster.

Rams' Britain Covey: Underwhelming in victory
Britain Covey caught three of six targets for 13 yards and returned one punt for two yards during Saturday's 23-22 preseason victory against the Chargers.On a day where many of the Los Angeles Rams wideouts battling to make the final cut had excellent games, Covey struggled to get anything going. Xavier Smith, Covey's primary competition for a roster spot, secured all four of his targets for 49 yards and protected his spot as the sixth (and potentially final) wideout on the Rams' initial 53-man roster. Covey will get one last chance to make an impression for his new team against the Browns in next week's preseason finale for the Rams.

Rams' Britain Covey: Makes most of two touches
Britain Covey caught both of his targets for 31 yards during Saturday's 31-21 preseason win versus the Cowboys.The former Eagles wideout notched a nifty 26-yard gain on a deep pass from Stetson Bennett, but he didn't get an opportunity to showcase his skills as a return man, which was his primary role back in Philadelphia. Xavier Smith is his main competition for that role with the Los Angeles Rams, and his incumbent status likely has the edge over Covey so far to retain the role. The most likely outcome for Covey is a spot on the practice squad and a role if injuries befall the wide receiver corps.

Rams' Britain Covey: Gets one-year deal with Rams
Los Angeles signed Britain Covey (neck) to a one-year contract Monday.Covey spent last year with the Eagles, securing seven of eight targets for 34 yards across his five regular-season appearances. A neck injury sustained Week 13 forced Covey to land on IR, and though he resumed practicing in full late during the playoffs, he wasn't able to gain clearance in time to suit up for Philadelphia's win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Now healthy, Covey will compete for an opportunity to earn a depth role with the Los Angeles Rams.

Eagles' Britain Covey: Logs full practice Wednesday
Britain Covey (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.Covey hasn't played since Week 13 due to a neck injury, which was significant enough for the Philadelphia Eagles to place him on injured reserve.

The 27-year-old wideout caught seven passes (on eight targets) for 34 yards across five appearances during the regular season and also contributed as a punt returner.
