From the article

Makai Lemon (hamstring) have missed the last seven practices. In the case of Smith, it's not going to matter; he is clearly going to be the Eagles' WR1 in 2026. But Lemon? It's definitely not ideal for a rookie to miss this much time in training camp after he already missed the entire spring with a hamstring injury.

Negative signalRole

Lemon's repeated hamstring absences threaten WR2 starting role chances.

Lemon has missed the last seven practices with a hamstring injury and already missed the entire spring with the same injury. The source notes it's not ideal for a rookie to miss this much time in training camp and that his chances of starting the season as the Eagles' WR2 are dwindling. While he could catch up (citing Cooper DeJean's precedent), DeJean didn't start as a rookie despite missing camp time.
