Overview
- Lemon said Friday he is “feeling great” and expects to be “100%” when the Eagles open training camp, though he still needs formal clearance from team trainers.
- The rookie missed the second OTA open to media and the entire mandatory minicamp in June because of a hamstring issue that the team treated cautiously.
- Philadelphia drafted Lemon at No. 20 overall after a final college season that earned him the Fred Biletnikoff Award and showcased his route running and reliable hands.
- The Eagles traded A.J. Brown this offseason and added several pass catchers, which creates a clearer path for Lemon to earn slot snaps without being a one-for-one Brown replacement.
- Watch for trainers’ official clearance and Lemon’s early camp reps to determine how quickly he integrates with veterans such as DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert and how the offense distributes targets.
