After not presenting a contract tender to Britain Covey, the Eagles agreed to a one-year deal with veteran return man Avery Williams, Dianna Russini reported. Williams, 26, was a fifth-round selection of the Falcons out of Boise State in the 2021 NFL Draft.

After joining the Falcons, Williams switched positions from cornerback to running back. Williams is out in Philadelphia after being waived on Tuesday.
