Makai Lemon said he felt a familiar pain. Yes, in his hamstring. Yes, the same hamstring that sidelined him for half of the Philadelphia Eagles' OTAs. It was a "little tweak," the rookie wide receiver said, which flared when he attempted to burst, just four days into training camp. The injury caused him to miss two weeks of practices, two preseason games and the competitive parts of two joint practices with the New England Patriots.

Lemon sidelined by repeat hamstring injury; missed two weeks of camp and preseason.

Eagles rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon suffered a repeat hamstring injury during training camp, a "little tweak" that occurred four days into camp when he attempted to burst. The injury forced him to miss two weeks of practices, two preseason games, and competitive portions of two joint practices with the New England Patriots. Lemon attributed the recurrence to insufficient off-field professionalism and recovery adherence, stating he is "making sure I'm more professional off the field" and working closely with team trainers on a recovery plan.
