While the Cowboys haven't yet punted in this game, the Eagles list their backup punt returner as first-round pick Makai Lemon. Without DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, Lemon also has a huge role on offense in this game.
Without Covey on kick returns, the Eagles returners are now Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell. Both of those guys began the season on the practice squad.
Covey this year has returned 14 punts for 177 yards (12.6 average).
