Covey is the only remaining punt returner from last season's trio of Covey, Xavier Gipson, and Jahan Dotson, but he is not guaranteed to earn a roster spot in 2026.

Covey has caught more passes than anybody in the first few days of camp because quarterbacks love throwing to him—he's smart, knows the entire route tree, and catches everything. However, with only 13 catches in three seasons (six in one game against the Falcons in 2024), it's hard to imagine him having a role in the offense; he's the perfect practice player because he makes the quarterback look good. Covey is clearly on the roster bubble this summer and will make the 53-man roster only because of his punt return ability, where his 11.3-yard average ranks 9th among active NFL returners with at least 50 returns and 4th in Eagles history.

Covey's 11.3 punt return average is 9th-highest among active NFL returners with at least 50 returns and 4th-highest in Eagles history (behind Ernie Steele in the 1940s, Brian Mitchell, and Darren Sproles). His 11.3 is also 9th-highest in NFL history by a returner who doesn't have a touchdown, which tells you just how consistent he is picking up big yards without any huge returns.
