Eagles place rookie TE Stowers on IR as Covey steps in for Week 1

The Philadelphia Eagles placed rookie tight end Eli Stowers on injured reserve with hamstring and quadriceps injuries, sidelining him for at least four weeks and making him ineligible to return until after Week 4.

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers with the 54th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
