What this means for your roster
Pierce and Steele are the names fantasy managers will care about. Both are on the practice squad, not the active 53-man roster, so neither is a startable option right now. That said, practice squad players can be elevated for game days, and two running backs on the same practice squad tells you the Eagles want depth at the position close at hand.
Covey had previously been released as a vested veteran before signing here, so his return to Philadelphia keeps him in the mix at receiver, though practice squad receivers rarely factor into weekly fantasy decisions.
If injuries hit the Eagles backfield, check the practice squad elevation wire before your waiver deadline.
