Philadelphia has placed receiver Britain Covey on injured reserve after he suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday’s win over New Orleans.

Covey had to exit the game in the first half and was unable to return. He has caught seven passes for 34 yards so far this season. He’s also returned one punt for 9 yards.

Normally this may not be big news but the Eagles were involving Covey over the last two weeks before his injury. The other reason to pay attention is Brown is dealing with a hamstring issue and is in question for Week 4 - as is Smith who is in concussion protocol. That leaves Dotson, Wilson and Campbell as - possibly - the Eagles top-three WRs heading into Week 4. Even if that's the case, look for Goedert and Barkley to be heavily involved against the Bucs. Brown does have a chance to play but it's another situation to monitor this week.

Eagles are listing WR A.J. Brown as officially out for Sunday’s game versus the Saints.

With Brown ruled out, Smith is once again locked into a WR1 role here in Week 3. Dotson and Covey can be left off fantasy lineups, as the former earned only one target last week, while the latter was nothing more than a dump-off option, earning a 1.4 aDOT on six targets.

#Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said CJ Gardner-Johnson “tweaked something” on Wednesday. As per usual, he wouldn’t rule him or A.J. Brown out for Sunday yet.

If Brown is out, Smith is once again locked into a WR1 role here in Week 3. Dotson and Covey can be left off fantasy lineups, as the former earned only one target last week, while the latter was nothing more than a dump-off option, earning a 1.4 aDOT on six targets.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown told ESPN that he does expect to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury he suffered Friday.

Owners can expect him to now be out for Week 3, but perhaps Week 4 is possible given the Eagles bye week comes in Week 5. This will be something to monitor. The hope is Brown is back for Week 4, which is an early game at the Bucs. The Eagles have an early game in Week 6 as well, home against the Browns. Smith should be the team's WR1 with Brown out and newly acquired Dotson should start to see more reps. Wilson is a rookie who really stood out this summer and could end up seeing some snaps as well. Covey played well in Week 2.

Parris Campbell had the inside track for the Philadelphia Eagles third wide receiver job when training camp started. He has some catching up to do.

A groin injury sidelined Campbell for several practices as Britain Covey, Johnny Wilson, and John Ross emerged as candidates for the third wide receiver job. In terms of the pecking order, Covey and Wilson have passed Campbell.

Campbell seemed like a sure-thing to land this job much of the spring but now injuries may cost him a spot on the team. The Eagles WR3 traditionally hasn't been a huge fantasy factor anyway the last several years, mostly because Goedert is the better target at TE. It may be worth watching Wilson, however. Reports are the rookie is having a good camp so far.
