Lemon's rough preseason debut raises Week 1 readiness questions despite coach confidence.

Rookie receiver Makai Lemon had a rough preseason debut that suggested he may still have ways to go before fulfilling offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's plan for him in the new system. Coach Nick Sirianni sidestepped a question about Lemon's readiness for Week 1 by emphasizing confidence in the entire receiver corps, which may suggest Lemon must prove himself in practice this week before his regular-season debut. However, pass game coordinator Josh Grizzard expressed strong confidence, saying Lemon has 'done an unbelievable job' in meetings, asking strong questions, and learning alignments and adjustments while sidelined.
