Eagles to sign WR Britain Covey to the practice squad

The Eagles are bringing their top punt returner back on the practice squad, signing Britain Covey after 53-man roster cuts.

A highly productive player at Utah, Covey was the Eagles’ primary punt returner last season after being elevated to the active 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie free agent.

Early on, Covey had two fumbles and averaged 6.1 yards per punt return in the Eagles’ first five games.

Over his last 15 games (including the playoffs), Covey increased his productivity as he got more comfortable, averaging 12.3 yards per return and no fumbles.
