Yahoo Sports NFL on Makai Lemon

Lemon's preseason debut uninspiring; Sirianni's confidence in him unclear.

Makai Lemon, the Eagles' 2026 first-round pick, is listed as a starter on the team's depth chart at WR3 and was taking all first-team reps in the slot upon returning from a hamstring injury in late August. However, there is fair reason to wonder if Lemon is currently ready to be the main man in that third receiver role. His preseason debut wasn't encouraging, and Nick Sirianni didn't give him the strongest vote of confidence when asked about his role, instead talking about his confidence in the Eagles' WR room as a whole.
