Makai Lemon Takes On Expanded Role for Eagles Following Covey Injury

Philadelphia Eagles rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon is set for an expanded role on both special teams and offense during Monday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Following a first-quarter knee injury to primary return man Britain Covey, Lemon was stepped up as the team's backup punt returner. With wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks already sidelined, Lemon is expected to handle significant offensive snaps as well.
