Devon Allen is still on the Eagles practice squad.
The guy who took the spot Allen could have had as punt returner is Britain Covey.
Covey has about 60 yards on 10 punt returns. Nothing special.
He wasn’t even allowed to park in the players lot when they had their Monday Night game.Point is, when we were listing reasons why Allen wouldn’t make the cut, I didn’t see anyone say he couldn’t beat out Britain Covey.
Most punt returners in the NFL are nothing special. They all do the first part of the job which is to catch the punt. Has Allen fielded a punt in a game as of yet? If not, that may be a sign that he struggles doing job 1.
