Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey told reporters Thursday that he will be sidelined for six weeks with a broken scapula.

Covey, 27, said he will not require surgery for the shoulder injury sustained during Sunday’s victory at New Orleans.

Covey has seven catches for 34 yards and one punt return for 9 yards in three games this season.

Undrafted in 2022, he led the NFL with 417 punt-return yards in 2023 and has 11 receptions for 76 yards and zero touchdowns in 36 games (no starts).

Fellow receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) did not practice Wednesday as the Eagles (2-1) get ready for Sunday’s road game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1). Brown has missed the last two games and Smith was injured in the win over the Saints.
