The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> pulled some strings to trade up and get Makai Lemon<\/a> in the 2026 NFL<\/a> Draft.<\/p>\n

So far, they haven’t gotten much of a return on their investment with their first-round rookie. Lemon missed time in spring workouts with a lower-leg injury. He had hamstring issues, and the team erred on the side of caution by shutting him down.<\/p>\n

Now, after a couple of underwhelming practices,<\/a> Nick Sirianni’s team has had to take the same approach. According to The Athletic’s Zach Berman, he’s dealing with another hamstring injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Makai Lemon and DeVonta Smith both have hamstring injuries. Neither is practicing,” Berman wrote. “There\u2019s not internal concern these will be long-term issues. But hamstrings for WR are obviously important to monitor,” he added in a follow-up post.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n
