Eagles elevate Britain Covey, Arryn Siposs for Week 1 matchup vs. Patriots

#Eagles elevate wide receiver Britain Covey and punter Arryn Siposs on Saturday from the practice squad for the season opener.

The Eagles don’t have a punt returner or punter on the roster, so the team elevated wide receiver Britain Covey and punter Arryn Siposs from the practice squad for the season opener on Saturday.

Both players can be elevated from the practice squad three times before being put on the active roster.

As an undrafted rookie in 2022, Covey started the season on the practice squad, but saw action in all 17 regular-season games, finishing second among all rookies in punt return yards (308) and third in punt return average (9.3 yards per carry).

A third-year punter trying out weekly, Siposs has averaged 44.7 yards per punt and 39.2 net over his first two seasons.

Eagles to release punter Arryn Siposs ahead of 53-man roster deadline

The Philadelphia #Eagles are set to release punter Arryn Siposs ahead of 53-man roster deadline

Arryn Siposs won the battle against Ty Zentner but lost the overall war after getting released ahead of the Tuesday afternoon roster deadline.

Siposs had 44 punts in 2022, averaging 45.6 yards per punt, with only 16 landing inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

Siposs had a brutal punt returned 65 yards by Kadarius Toney to help set up a Chiefs touchdown in the Super Bowl, and during this preseason, he averaged only 42.0 yards per punt (his longest was 49 yards) and failed to record a touchback.

Ex-Titans punter Brett Kern may not play in Super Bowl after all

Brett Kern is in danger of being inactive for the Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl contest.

Former Tennessee Titans and current Philadelphia Eagles punter Brett Kern has a chance to win the first Super Bowl ring of his career on Sunday, but he may not take part in the actual game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

On Saturday, the Eagles announced they have activated their starting punter, Arryn Siposs, from injured reserve. Siposs was placed on the list after Week 14 due to an ankle injury, which led to the Kern signing.

It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but there’s a very real chance that Kern, who has struggled with the Eagles, will be inactive for the Super Bowl in favor of Siposs.

Here’s more from Eagles Wire on Kern’s struggles:

While out with the injury, Siposs was replaced by the 36-year-old Brett Kern, who has averaged 40.8 yards per kick with a 36.6 net — both career lows for the 15-year veteran.

His 40.8 is the lowest by an Eagles punter since Reggie Hodges averaged 36.8 during the 2005 season and was replaced by Sean Landeta.

The good news is, even if Kern is inactive, he will still get a ring, but it would no doubt be disappointing for him not to play in the actual game.

Kern isn’t the only former Titan with a shot for a Super Bowl ring on Sunday. Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown and Chiefs practice squad defensive back Ugo Amadi are two others. Amadi won’t be active for the game, though.

Eagles opened the 21-day practice window for punter Arryn Siposs

A huge weapon will be returning for #SuperBowl as the Philadelphia Eagles opened up the 21 day practice window for punter Arryn Siposs ahead of the matchup vs. Kansas City Chiefs

The Eagles are getting a key weapon back for the Super Bowl, as the team activated the 21-day practice window for punter Arryn Siposs.

Siposs had been out since he suffered a high ankle sprain while trying to advance a blocked punt in the win over the Giants in December.

While out with the injury, Siposs was replaced by the 36-year-old Brett Kern, who has averaged 40.8 yards per kick with a 36.6 net — both career lows for the 15-year veteran.

His 40.8 is the lowest by an Eagles punter since Reggie Hodges averaged 36.8 during the 2005 season and was replaced by Sean Landeta.

Trio of former Auburn teammates heading to Super Bowl LVII

Auburn’s Super Bowl representatives were a part of the Tigers’ rosters during the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

Auburn Football was well represented during the 2022-23 NFL season with 26 former players gracing professional rosters.

As the season draws closer to an end, three former Tigers remain as the field is set for Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, 31-7 to advance to the Super Bowl, which means that former Tigers [autotag]Jack Driscoll[/autotag] and [autotag]Arryn Siposs[/autotag] will get the chance to compete for the league’s ultimate prize.

On the other side, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated Cincinnati Bengals on a late field goal, 23-20 to win the AFC Championship, meaning that former Auburn lineman [autotag]Prince Tega Wanogho[/autotag] is also heading to the Super Bowl.

It will be a reunion between those three Tigers, as all three players were a part of Auburn rosters during the 2018 and 2019 seasons before beginning their professional careers in 2020. Driscoll, who transferred to Auburn from UMass, was taken No. 145 overall by the Eagles while Siposs signed an undrafted rookie contract with the Detroit Lions.

Wanogho was the longest-tenured Tiger out of the bunch, playing from 2015-19. In 2020, he was ironically taken No. 210 overall by the Eagles, the team that he will be facing in the Super Bowl.

Driscoll saw action at both left and right tackle for the Eagles this season. In ten games, Driscoll has participated in 357 snaps according to Pro Football Focus with 207 being at right tackle.

Siposs has punted the football 44 times for Philadelphia this season for an average of 45.7 yards. His longest punt of the season totaled 57 yards, and he has placed an impressive 19 punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

Wanogho has played in six games this season for Kansas City, playing 45 snaps at right tackle, and 15 at left tackle.

The Eagles will compete for their second Super Bowl crown in franchise history on Sunday, Feb. 12, while the Chiefs look to earn their third.

Eagles punter Arryn Siposs hoping to return for NFC Divisional Round matchup

They don’t miss you until you are gone, and with Brett Kern struggling, Eagles punter Arryn Siposs is hoping to return for an NFC Divisional Round matchup

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbx4gfbwm323hbt player_id=01eqbvhghtkmz2182d image=]

The Eagles could have one of the most important players returning next week, as punter Arryn Siposs is now out of a walking boot and preparing for a return.

Meeting with the media after Philadelphia’s Thursday practice, the second-year punter says he’s hopeful to return for the team’s divisional-round matchup against an opponent to be determined.

Philadelphia signed punter Brett Kern to the active roster from the practice squad last week after his final gameday elevation.

Kern was signed to the Eagles practice squad on December 13 after Siposs suffered an ankle injury against the Giants.

Kern has averaged 42.6 gross yards per punt with a long of 53 yards. He also assumed the holder’s duties in Siposs’ absence.
