Makai Lemon Evaluated After Mixed Preseason Debut

Eagles rookie Makai Lemon caught three of five targets for five yards and returned one punt for no gain in a 30-13 preseason loss to the Bengals. He also fumbled once but recovered the ball. Following his NFL debut, there is concern that the 2026 first-round pick may not be ready for a major role immediately. His performance remains under evaluation as the team makes final roster decisions.
