Britain Covey's not exactly a household name — or face — in Philadelphia.
"To no fault of theirs, I had the practice squad pass," Covey explained."My teammates told me 'just tell them you were elevated to the active roster, and they'll let you in.' But I could tell they didn't quite recognize me when I told them I was elevated.
The Eagles signed Covey this offseason as an undrafted rookie out of Utah, where he was an All-Pac-12 punt returner. He started the season on the practice squad, but was elevated to the game-day roster prior to Philadelphia's Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions. He was elevated again for Monday's home opener against the Vikings. He understands why security might not recognize him.So for his first NFL home game, he parked a half mile away and soaked in the tailgate scene on his way to work.
