Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver injury and performance

Overview

During the Philadelphia Eagles training camp in August 2026, wide receivers DeVonta Smith and rookie Makai Lemon both dealt with hamstring injuries. Team officials initially characterized the injuries as minor, expressing confidence that the players would return to practice within a week.

However, Lemon’s preseason debut against the Cincinnati Bengals was marked by difficulties. Following a summer of limited participation due to consecutive hamstring injuries, the rookie recorded only three receptions for three yards and was involved in an interception and a muffed punt return during the 30-13 loss.
