Bryce Huff is set to return for the Philadelphia Eagles in their upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys after recovering from left wrist surgery that sidelined him for five games. The Eagles activated Huff from injured reserve, allowing him to practice for 21 days before his return. Huff reported significant improvement in his hand's functionality, which is crucial for his performance as an edge rusher. Prior to his injury, he had recorded 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble across ten games, showcasing potential that the Eagles hope to see more of upon his return.

In contrast, Britain Covey will miss the remainder of the regular season and at least two playoff games after being placed on injured reserve due to a lingering neck injury. Covey, who has been a key player in the Eagles' special teams as a punt returner, has struggled with injuries this season, missing seven games earlier due to a broken shoulder blade. His absence has allowed Cooper DeJean to step in as the primary punt returner, who has performed admirably in Covey's stead.

Additionally, the Eagles have signed quarterback Ian Book to their active roster to provide depth amid injury concerns for starter Jalen Hurts, who is recovering from a concussion. With Tanner McKee moving into a backup role, the team has made several roster adjustments, including releasing edge rusher Chuck Harris and elevating running back Tyrion-Davis Price and linebacker Dallas Gant from the practice squad. The Eagles are preparing for a critical matchup against the Cowboys as they look to solidify their playoff positioning.

Ben VanSumeren, a linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles, is reported to have suffered a significant knee injury during practice, likely ending his season. Known for his contributions on special teams and as a fullback, he has been a valuable asset in the Eagles' strong start this season.

With VanSumeren sidelined, the Eagles may turn to Dallas Gant, a rookie linebacker who was previously with the Minnesota Vikings, to step up in his absence.
