Hamstring injury forces Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Makai Lemon to slow start

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Makai Lemon faces a delayed start to the season following a hamstring injury sustained during the offseason. According to reporting from Tim McManus, expectations for the receiver should be adjusted for the immediate future. Despite the missed practice time, Lemon remains in competition with Dontayvion Wicks for a larger role in the Philadelphia offensive rotation. The team expects him to potentially emerge as the No. 2 receiver as the season progresses. His ability to move up the depth chart depends on his recovery and performance once he is back at full strength.
