Makai Lemon Struggles With Negative Yardage Plays Early in Season

Philadelphia Eagles player Makai Lemon is tied for 172nd in the NFL with eight touches but shares the league lead with four plays resulting in negative-three yards or less. Half of his four touches have lost at least three yards, with at least one in each game. He is the first Eagles player with four such plays in a season since Miles Sanders in 2019, reflecting early-season struggles to gain positive yardage on his limited touches.
