Abnormal stat line in regular-season debut Lemon caught three of four targets for minus-five yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Commanders.

Impact Lemon reeled in a three-yard catch on the team's first possession of the game before later adding a pair of receptions that combined to lose eight yards. The Eagles are operating under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion this season, and they'll look to find more productive ways to get the wide receiver involved in Week 2 against the Titans.

Listed as starting receiver, punt returner The Eagles list Lemon as a starting receiver and their top punt returner on their unofficial depth chart released Tuesday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Impact Lemon joins DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks as the top three receivers on the Eagles' depth chart, though Wicks may be prioritized ahead of the rookie first-round pick in two-wide sets, at least to begin the season. Wicks turned in a strong training camp for the Eagles, while Lemon spent considerable time on the sideline while tending to a hamstring injury. Lemon has since moved past that injury, but he'll likely need to impress both in practices and the snaps he receives early in the season before pushing past Wicks as the Eagles' No. 2 receiver.

Impact Lemon made his long-awaited pro debut after finally overcoming a nagging hamstring injury, and although he was certainly kept busy during his time in the game, he extracted minimal gains from his receptions. The 2026 first-round pick is still ticketed for the No. 3 receiver role to open the season despite the missed time, and Lemon will now have the opportunity to garner plenty of practice reps ahead of a Week 1 home matchup against the Commanders on Sept. 13.

On Track Or Falling Behind? The Eagles’ Offense And Fernando Mendoza’s Growth

Practices in full Monday Lemon (hamstring) was a full participant in Monday's practice, EJ Smith of The PHLY Sports reports.

Impact The rookie has been hampered by a hamstring issue for much of camp but is starting to get on track as the season approaches. Lemon practiced in limited fashion last week and has upgraded to full participation as of Monday. The rookie still has to play catch-up a bit with the lost time during camp, but a fully healthy remainder of the offseason will put Lemon in a good spot come Week 1.
