US EditionRams sign former Eagles kick returner Britain Covey to a 1-year deal
- In 2025, Britain Covey joined the Los Angeles Rams on a one-year deal following three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he contributed as a wide receiver and punt returner.
- Covey went undrafted in 2022 mainly due to his small size of 5-foot-8 and 169-173 pounds, but he quickly became a top punt returner in the NFL.
- Covey led the league with 417 punt return yards in 2023 and played in two Super Bowls during his tenure, though injuries limited him to five games in the 2024 season.
- Covey expressed deep appreciation for his time in Philadelphia and the impact it had on his family before announcing his move to the Los Angeles Rams; details of his new contract have not been disclosed.
- Covey's move suggests the Eagles sought durability after his injuries, relying on Avery Williams and others, while Covey could compete for a punt return role with the Rams if healthy.
