Lemon's repeated hamstring injuries cost him critical training camp reps.

The Eagles' first-round pick missed OTAs with a hamstring injury, then missed nine days of training camp and the first two preseason games with another hamstring injury on the same leg. Lemon returned late in training camp and played in the final preseason game but won't recover the missed time. Despite being behind, the Eagles got him back with the first-team offense in practice, and he's expected to be their slot receiver alongside DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks on the outside. The source notes it's unclear how ready Lemon is for his significant role after all the missed time.
