Overview
- Lemon told reporters in mid‑July that he is “feeling great” and expects to be fully available when the Eagles report to training camp on July 28.
- He missed the second OTA and the two‑day mandatory minicamp in June because of a hamstring problem but has been rehabbing since and participated in team and community events in Philadelphia.
- The Eagles selected Lemon with the No. 20 pick out of USC after his Fred Biletnikoff Award season and he lined up in the slot roughly three‑quarters of the time in college.
- Philadelphia traded A.J. Brown in the offseason and added receivers such as Dontayvion Wicks and Marquise Brown plus rookie tight end Eli Stowers, changes that both relieve depth crowding and raise expectations for Lemon to earn early playing time.
- Final on‑field participation still requires official clearance from team trainers and coaches will use joint practices, camp work and the preseason schedule beginning Aug. 15 to decide how quickly Lemon is deployed and what impact he can have for the offense.
