News: 1 hour agoLemon (hamstring) was a full participant in Monday's practice, EJ Smith of The PHLY Sports reports.

Spin: The rookie has been hampered by a hamstring issue for much of camp but is starting to get on track as the season approaches. Lemon practiced in limited fashion last week and has upgraded to full participation as of Monday. The rookie still has to play catch-up a bit with the lost time during camp, but a fully healthy remainder of the offseason will put Lemon in a good spot come Week 1.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Lemon was selected by the Eagles with the 20th overall pick of April's draft. Lemon is on the small side (5-foot-11, 192 pounds), but he posted a 3.04 YPRR (best in this rookie class) during his collegiate career, dropping only three of 190 career targets (his 1.6% drop rate also paced this class). Lemon, who aligned in the slot on 74% of his collegiate routes, posted a dominant 79-1,156-11 receiving line in 2025, while also contributing as a rusher (two TDs) and returner. With A.J. Brown now in New England, Lemon is likely to open his career as a starter opposite DeVonta Smith. Lemon's skill set provides him with upside, but with plenty of mouths to feed in Philly's low-volume pass offense, he's best valued as a flex option in 2026.
