Eagles likely to name Dontayvion Wicks as WR2 over Makai Lemon
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to name Dontayvion Wicks as their No. 2 wide receiver for the upcoming season, sidelining first-round rookie Makai Lemon due to a hamstring injury. Wicks has reportedly shown strong rapport with quarterback Jalen Hurts during training camp, which has bolstered his chances of securing the role. Philadelphia’s offense is undergoing changes with A.J. Brown no longer on the roster and new offensive schemes being implemented by Sean Mannion. The Eagles' preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens will provide an opportunity for Wicks to further establish his position on the depth chart.
