STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Lemon's recurring hamstring injuries and missed reps threaten his chemistry development with Hurts.

Lemon missed at least four of the Eagles' eight spring practices due to a hamstring injury and has now missed three days of team drills through six training camp practices with a hamstring injury (unclear if related to the previous one). He wasn't lighting it up prior to getting hurt. While there's precedent for rookies to miss camp time and later shine (Cooper DeJean in 2024), that scenario is more exception than norm. Lemon is missing valuable practice reps that could hinder building chemistry with Hurts.
