Lemon not only missed most of the spring practices with a hamstring injury, he's now been out for nearly two weeks with another hamstring injury... Dontayvion Wicks, Elijah Moore and Darius Cooper in particular have made the most of the extra reps to leapfrog Lemon...

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Lemon's hamstring injuries and missed reps risk his WR2 role.

Lemon is listed on the depth chart with starters but faces significant risk of not being the Week 1 WR2; he has missed most spring practices with a hamstring injury and nearly two weeks of camp after suffering another hamstring injury on Aug. 3, totaling seven-plus missed practices. Meanwhile, Dontayvion Wicks, Elijah Moore, and Darius Cooper have leapfrogged him by capitalizing on extra reps, developing chemistry with Hurts, and earning coach trust. Even before the injury, Lemon wasn't flashing, and it would be surprising if he earns the WR2 role by the opener.
