Eagles seek impact from rookie Makai Lemon ahead of training camp

The Philadelphia Eagles are relying on rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon to contribute early this season. Lemon was drafted in the first round to help fill the gap left by A.J. Brown, who was traded to the New England Patriots in June. Having won the Biletnikoff Award at Southern Cal, Lemon is seen as a key player for the Eagles' 2026 season. He is expected to compete for a starting role despite a hamstring injury that limited his participation in spring practices. Training camp begins on July 28, and the Eagles anticipate that Lemon will be ready to make an immediate impact as they prepare for their season opener against Washington on September 13.
