The Eagles announced on Tuesday the following roster moves:
Signed WR Britain Covey to the active roster
Covey was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's win over the Commanders and served as the primary punt returner, returning four punts for 37 yards.
The league leader in punt return yardage in 2023, Covey has played in a total of 50 regular-season and playoff games. A rookie free agent in 2022, Covey was a part of the 2022 NFC Championship team and the Super Bowl LIX-winning squad.

Signed TE Josiah Deguara to the practice squad
A third-round pick of the Green Bay Packers out of Cincinnati in 2020, Deguara (6-2, 238 pounds) has 77 games of regular-season experience under his belt.
Deguara spent four years with the Packers then signed with Jacksonville in 2024 and Arizona last season. He has 53 receptions for 471 yards and three touchdowns in his career.
The 29-year-old Deguara is the only tight end on the practice squad.
Placed G Landon Dickerson on Injured Reserve
The three-time Pro Bowl guard will miss at least the next four weeks. Offensive Coordinator Sean Mannion said on Tuesday that the team will evaluate all of their potential options to field the best offensive line group.
"We feel really confident with all of our guys. It's unfortunate with Landon, the guy's a warrior, and we've got to get him healthy," Mannion said. "In the meantime, we need guys to step up, but Drew's (Kendall) had a really nice camp. Willie (Lampkin)'s had a nice camp. Really, we have a lot of guys on our offensive line with a lot of position flexibility, versatility. We feel good about all of them. Obviously, Landon will be missed in the meantime, but we feel confident that guys are going to be able to step up and fill the void."
Said Head Coach Nick Sirianni of Dickerson on Monday: "He's tough as heck. We've won a ton of games with Landon and there's a lot of good things that he can do. Just like every player on our team from yesterday's game and every coach for that matter, there's good moments and there are moments that we've got to fix. That's where we are. Can't tell you how much I think of Landon and the player that he is, and particularly that power and that size where he can move guys off the spot against their will."
A second-round pick in 2021, the 6-foot-6, 332-pound Dickerson established himself as one of the NFL's best interior linemen in his second year and earned Pro Bowl honors in three consecutive seasons. He, along with Brandon Brooks, are the only guards in Eagles history with three Pro Bowl selections.
