Britain Covey of the Philadelphia Eagles has been placed on injured reserve following a shoulder injury sustained against the New Orleans Saints, sidelining him for at least four games. Covey was key in the offense this season, posting a career-high seven receptions before the injury.
With Covey out, Cooper DeJean is poised to take over as the punt returner, while Jack Stoll has been signed to the active roster. The Eagles also added John Ross to their practice squad to provide depth amid multiple injuries to the receiving corps.
