Eagles sign punter Arryn Siposs wide receivers Britain Covey, Devon Allen to the practice squad

Punter Arryn Siposs and wide receivers Britain Covey and Devon Allen were among 13 players the Eagles signed to the practice squad Wednesday.

Siposs returns after being cut a day earlier and remains the only punter currently in the organization. Despite being on the practice squad, Siposs could be the punter come the season opener against New England unless the Eagles bring in someone else following Tuesday’s cuts.

The Australian had an up-and-down 2022 season, averaging 45.6 yards per punt, but also shanking a key fourth-quarter punt in Super Bowl LVII that was returned 65 yards by Kansas City’s Kadarius Toney. The Eagles brought in Ty Zentner this preseason to compete with Siposs, but Zentner was released on Aug. 19.

Covey, 26, and Allen, 28, were also part of Tuesday’s cuts when the Eagles pared down to the initial 53-man roster. Both have the potential to be promoted to the game day roster if need be, especially given the fact that the Eagles’ current active roster holds just four wide receivers — A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Quez Watkins, and Olamide Zaccheaus.

Covey signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and saw action in 17 games, primarily as a return specialist. He returned 33 punts for 308 yards (9.3 average) and 10 kickoffs for 206 yards (20.6 average).

Allen spent last season on the Eagles’ practice squad and did not see any game action. He is a two-time U.S. Olympian (2016 and 2020) in the 110-meter hurdles. Allen returned to football last season after taking a six-year break to focus on track and field.

The Eagles also signed to the practice squad cornerback Mekhi Garner, guard Julian Good-Jones, defensive end Tarron Jackson, linebackers Ben VanSumeren and Kyron Johnson, safety Tristin McCollum, wide receivers Joseph Ngata and Greg Ward, tight end Brady Russell, and tackle Brett Toth.

In additional fallout from cut-down day, former Eagles safety K’Von Wallace, a 2020 fourth-round pick, is reuniting with former defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon after he was claimed by the Arizona Cardinals.

Over three seasons, Wallace served as a special-teams ace, logging 737 snaps with the unit. Defensively, he played mostly as a reserve with 550 snaps.

Offensive lineman Josh Sills, who made the team last year as an undrafted free agent, was claimed by the Indianapolis Colts. Sills missed the first few weeks of training camp while he was on the NFL’s commissioner exempt list. Sills was acquitted of rape and kidnapping charges and he returned to the Eagles in early August. He now reunites with former offensive coordinator Shane Steichen in Indianapolis.

In other news, former Eagles first-round receiver Jalen Reagor was released by the Minnesota Vikings. Reagor, 24, will be looking for his third team in three years.
