Eagles Place Britain Covey on Injured Reserve

The Philadelphia Eagles have placed wide receiver Britain Covey on injured reserve following a shoulder injury sustained in their victory over the New Orleans Saints, sidelining him for at least four games. Covey has been a key player both as a receiver and primary punt returner, with seven catches for 34 yards this season. In response, the Eagles signed tight end Jack Stoll to the active roster and added wide receiver John Ross to the practice squad. Covey's punt return duties will likely be taken over by rookie defensive back Cooper DeJean. Furthermore, the Eagles are contending with other significant injuries, including A.J. Brown (hamstring), DeVonta Smith (concussion), Lane Johnson (concussion), and Mekhi Becton (finger), complicating their preparations for the upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
