Bleeding Green Nation on Makai Lemon
From the article
it is notable to see Lemon with the starters despite the fact he's missed a lot of time in camp; it would be surprising if Lemon can earn that WR2 role by the opener
STACKED’s take
Lemon's hamstring injuries and missed reps threaten WR2 role; Cooper, Moore, Wicks ahead.
Rookie WR Makai Lemon is listed with the starters on the Eagles depth chart despite missing significant time in camp with hamstring injuries—first in spring practices, then another hamstring injury suffered Aug. 3 that has sidelined him for nearly two weeks and counting. The source expresses growing concern that Lemon may not be the WR2 by Week 1, noting he wasn't flashing even before the injury. Dontayvion Wicks, Elijah Moore, and Darius Cooper have leapfrogged him by making the most of extra reps and developing chemistry with Hurts. The source states 'it would be surprising if Lemon can earn that WR2 role by the opener' and that he has 'a lot of work to do in a short period of time' to make up for missed time.
