DeVonta Smith is out. Hollywood Brown is out. Not only does this put unique pressure on Makai Lemon to step up, but also (hopefully) means the Eagles need to use him more like a real receiver.

STACKED’s take

Lemon set for expanded role with Smith and Brown out; playbook readiness in question.

With DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown both out, Makai Lemon is expected to receive far more looks and be used more like a real receiver rather than just lining up everywhere. After three weeks under his belt, he should be up to speed on the playbook, though the key question is whether he can create separation as a route runner and make tough catches against tight coverage when defenses are not worrying about Smith.
