Covey's Explosive Return: Sets Eagles Punt Record, Dominates Special Teams

Britain Covey, after missing most of 2024 with shoulder and neck injuries and rejoining the Eagles from the practice squad in late November, delivered an explosive performance against the Chargers. He returned 3 punts for 54 yards and 4 kickoffs for 103 yards, becoming only the fourth Eagle to achieve 18+ yards per punt return and 25+ yards per kick return in the same game since 2002. Covey increased his career punt return average to 11.6, now the highest in Eagles history (min 75 returns) and 9th highest in NFL history, also the highest for an undrafted player. He feels a renewed passion for the game.
