Bleeding Green Nation on Makai Lemon

Lemon nearing return but may need weeks to master scheme-specific role.

Lemon is closing in on a return after taking a big step forward in his rehab process during Monday's practice, but he has missed significant enough time to wonder if he'll hit the ground running by Week 1. His role is scheme-specific with heavy motion out of the slot and option routes, making it likely he will need time to master all the details, similar to Cooper DeJean's situation. The source compares his timeline to DeJean, suggesting 'it takes him a few weeks to break into the starting lineup at this point.'
