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 WR DeVonta Smith went to the locker room for a potential head injury.

Smith took a hard shot after a pass in the fourth quarter, a play that arguably should have been blown dead due to forward progress. Smith was able to walk under his own power. Smith had 79 yards on seven catches before leaving.

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.

Jahan Dotson has not been with the Eagles for very long, but he’s made a positive impression on the team’s offensive coordinator.

In his Monday press conference, Kellen Moore said the team was really excited to have the opportunity to add the third-year receiver.

Moore said, "...he’ll be certainly a nice aspect of this thing, and he’ll be heavily involved.”

Moore added via the story that Dotson will need to keep growing and learning offense, but then did add that he'll be heavily involved. So while it may take some time, the Eagles are at least saying they expect Dotson to be a big part of things. Moore is obviously a new offensive coordinator, but over the last several years, the Eagles WR3 hasn't been fantasy relevant, mostly because of having Brown and Smith and Goedert at TE. The team added Saquon Barkley at RB and he's also expected to be heavily involved in the passing game so there seem to be a lot of mouths to feed in this offense.

After nine NFL seasons, Eagles WR DeVante Parker has decided to retire, he said Monday night.

As much as he looked forward to his time with the Eagles, Parker decided the time had come to spend more time with his family that includes his four children.

Parker was projected as part of the back half of the WR rotation, so it could open up some usage for rookie Johnny Wilson down the field. The target share behind Brown and Smith will be light either way, though.

The Eagles and star WR A.J. Brown agreed to terms on a new 3-year extension for $96M, the highest for any WR in NFL history. He’s now under contract through 2029 & his total guarantee of $84M is also the highest.

The Eagles are not messing around with their top two receivers, inking this deal just 10 days after locking in DeVonta Smith. Jalen Hurts remains insulated with high-level talent.

The Eagles have paid another big-time, rising player. This time, WR DeVonta Smith gets a 3-year, $75M contract extension that includes $51M guaranteed.

Great news for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense as a whole. Smith will continue his 1b role in which he finished the 2023 season as fantasy's WR22.

The Eagles removed WR DeVonta Smith from the injury report Saturday.

Smith was dealing with a knee injury but he is good to go for Monday's divisional showdown with the Giants. The Eagles hope to get their offense back on track in a key game on Christmas Day. That should include getting Smith back involved in the offense.
