Eagles' Makai Lemon: Notches three receptions in loss
Lemon recorded three receptions for 29 yards on four targets in Monday's 27-7 loss to the Bears.
After taking the field for north of 60 percent of the snaps in both of the Eagles' first two contests, Lemon wasn't a major beneficiary of the absence of tight end Dallas Goedert (knee). Even though the Eagles leaned more heavily on three-wide formations, Lemon saw only a slight uptick in playing time Monday, logging 35 of 50 snaps (70 percent). The rookie first-round pick appears to be little more than a tertiary option in the passing game at this stage of his career, as he's thus far been held to seven catches for 38 yards on nine targets through his first three NFL games.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Logs 14-yard catch in Week 2 win
Lemon caught his lone target for 14 yards while turning one carry into minus-5 yards during the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Lemon recorded minus-5 receiving yards on three catches during his NFL debut against the Commanders in Week 1. He was at least able to stay in the positive against Tennessee with a 14-yard catch on the last play of the third quarter, which moved the chains on third-and-8 and led to a two-yard touchdown run by Tank Bigsby four plays later. Lemon saw his workload in training camp severely limited due to a hamstring injury, so it may take a few weeks for the rookie first-rounder to ramp up his production. That said, with Dallas Goedert set to miss multiple weeks due to a sprained MCL, Lemon could operate in an elevated role in the passing game, starting with the Eagles' Week 3 road tilt against the Bears on Monday, Sept. 28.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Abnormal stat line in regular-season debut
Lemon caught three of four targets for minus-five yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Commanders.
Lemon reeled in a three-yard catch on the team's first possession of the game before later adding a pair of receptions that combined to lose eight yards. The Eagles are operating under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion this season, and they'll look to find more productive ways to get the wide receiver involved Week 2 against the Titans.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Listed as starting receiver, punt returner
Lemon is listed as a starting wide receiver for the Eagles and their top punt returner on the unofficial depth chart released Tuesday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
The rookie joins DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks as the top three receivers on the depth chart, though Wicks may be prioritized ahead of Lemon in two-wide sets to begin the season. Wicks turned in a strong training camp, while Lemon spent considerable time on the sideline while tending to a hamstring injury. The first-round pick will likely need to impress early in the season before pushing past Wicks as the No. 2 receiver.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Three catches in preseason debut
Lemon brought in three of five targets for five yards and returned one punt for no gain in the Eagles' 30-13 preseason loss to the Bengals on Friday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Lemon made his long-awaited pro debut after finally overcoming a nagging hamstring injury, and although he was certainly kept busy during his time in the game, he extracted minimal gains from his receptions. The 2026 first-round pick still is ticketed for the No. 3 receiver role to open the season despite the missed time, and Lemon now will have the opportunity to garner plenty of practice reps ahead of a Week 1 home matchup against the Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 13.
