An early-season shoulder injury cost Covey several weeks of the 2024 season. He ended up playing five games, making seven catches for 34 yards. His impact on special teams was limited as well, with Covey returning six punts all season.
Covey signed a free-agent deal with the Los Angeles Rams following the Eagles’ 40-22 Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
