Eagles Rookie WR Makai Lemon on Returning From Injury
Makai Lemon said the hamstring setback is the same injury that kept him out of minicamp, and he believes he will be ready for Week 1.
- On Monday, Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon returned to full practice at the Jefferson Health Training Complex, marking his first participation since sustaining a hamstring injury on August 3.
- Lemon missed nine practices after the injury and confirmed it is the same hamstring issue that sidelined him during the spring offseason program, forcing him to sit out once again.
- Working immediately with the first-team offense, Lemon joined fellow wideout DeVonta Smith, who also returned from a hamstring injury, building chemistry with quarterback Jalen Hurts during team drills.
- "I feel pretty confident," Lemon said, emphasizing he is prioritizing professional habits in his recovery regimen to ensure readiness for the season opener.
- With the season opener against the Washington Commanders 20 days away, the Eagles prepare for Friday's preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, where Lemon's status remains uncertain.
