Returns to practice squad

Covey reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Analysis: Covey once again served as Philadelphia's primary punt returner while playing eight special-teams snaps Sunday, netting 34 yards on five returns and two fair catches. The rookie out of Utah also muffed one of his returns but quickly recovered the fumble for no gain. After being elevated from the practice squad in each of the past three weeks, Covey will require a spot on the Eagles' active roster in order to continue returning punts for the team this season.

Will be active at Washington

Philadelphia elevated Covey from its practice squad Saturday for Week 3, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: This will be the third consecutive week Covey is active for the Eagles and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to play. The 25-year-old wideout has played exclusively on special teams through two games this season.

Moved up to active roster

Covey was elevated from the Eagles' practice squad ahead on Monday night's game against the Vikings.

Analysis: Covey will get the move up from Philadelphia's practice squad for the second straight week after recording 13 punt-return yards over his four special-teams snaps in Week 1. The rookie out of Utah did not line up for a single offensive play last week, but he figures to once again serve as one of the Eagles' top return specialists alongside Quez Watkins against Minnesota.
