The team revealed Friday on its injury report that punt returner/wide receiver Britain Covey will miss his second straight game this season with a neck injury, which means cornerback Cooper DeJean will be asked to handle punt returns. This is the ninth game overall missed by Covey, who sat out seven games earlier this season after suffering a fractured scapula in Week 3 against the Saints.
DeJean, in addition to having a terrific rookie season as the slot cornerback since moving into the starting lineup in Week 6, has also been solid as the punt returner in Covey’s absence. The second-round pick out or Iowa has returned 15 punts for 167 yards. His 11.1-yard average is sixth in the NFL.
In addition to Covey, the Eagles’ healthy inactives for Week 15 are cornerback Eli Ricks, offensive linemen Nick Gates, Trevor Keegan and Darian Kinnard. Tanner McKee is the third quarterback.
Pittsburgh, meanwhile, will be without three injured starters, including star receiver George Pickens, who is sitting out his second straight game with a hamstring injury. Safety DeShon Elliot (hamstring) and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin) are also out. The Steelers’ other inactive is cornerback Cory Trice and Kyle Allen is the third quarterback.

CINCINNATI — Former Steelers linebacker great and Bengals rival Joey Porter is self-aware when he goes to AFC North cities. He discussed how intense the division rivalries are on Hard Knocks this week, even saying he won’t eat out in Cincinnati, Cleveland, or Baltimore.
“Once you learn the rivalry, it’s way more intense than anybody can speak on it,” Porter Sr. told his son and current Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. “Like I don’t even eat in Cleveland. I never eat in Cincinnati. And I never eat in Baltimore. Like they can just forget about it, they talk about the good crab in Baltimore. Nah. I ain’t never had it. They gonna spit in Joey Porter’s sandwich. They gonna spit in my pasta.”
Porter famously caused controversy after running on the field during Cincinnati’s playoff loss to Pittsburgh in 2016 after Antonio Brown was hit by Vontaze Burfict with a penalized tackle.
The former hard-hitting linebacker was the ire of AFC North fans on the playing field from 1999-2006.
