Eagles fans, brace yourselves for some roster shake-ups ahead of the big game against the Bears! With rookie safety Drew Mukuba sidelined due to a unfortunate ankle injury sustained in the Cowboys game, Sydney Brown is stepping up to take on a starting role. Brown, a third-year player drafted in 2023, says he's been ready since training camp and is eager to showcase his skills.
Sydney Brown: Ready to Answer the Call
“I'm ready,” Brown declared on Tuesday. “I feel like I've been ready since [Training] Camp. I think I've been prepared since I got here. I've had a couple setbacks in the past. It's just been something to work back from, but I think I've been ready to go since I came here.” Brown brings a physical style of play to the field and has already demonstrated his ability to make impactful plays, including a memorable 99-yard pick-six during his rookie season.
Covey Returns to Boost Special Teams
In other exciting news, Britain Covey is back! The Eagles have signed Covey to the active roster, providing a boost to their special teams unit. Covey, who led the NFC in punt return yardage in 2023, is eager to get back on the field after a frustrating period on the sidelines. With Xavier Gipson dealing with a shoulder injury, Covey's return provides a much-needed option in the punt return game.
“I’m excited to get back out there,” said Covey. “It’s been frustrating not playing, honestly. You’re a competitor and you want to be out there, but you just stay prepared and ready for when your time does come.”
