Bleeding Green Nation on Makai Lemon
From the article
Lemon seems to be on track to miss the Eagles' first preseason game... The missed time is genuinely concerning. It's also difficult to merely give him the benefit of the doubt in the context of Howie Roseman's struggles with drafting at this specific position.
STACKED’s take
Lemon likely to miss preseason; Bernard concerned about missed time given Roseman's receiver draft history.
Lemon has not returned to practice and seems to be on track to miss the Eagles' first preseason game, which he probably would've played in if he was healthy. Bernard noted that with Cooper, Wicks, and Moore stepping up, maybe the Eagles won't need Lemon to produce right away after all. However, Bernard expressed concern about the missed time in the context of Howie Roseman's historical struggles with drafting at the receiver position; since 2010, Roseman has drafted just two receivers that earned a second contract with the Eagles (DeVonta Smith and Riley Cooper). Bernard acknowledged that missed time is genuinely concerning and it's difficult to give Lemon the benefit of the doubt, though he cautioned against assuming Lemon is definitely doomed to a similar fate.
