One day after the Philadelphia Eagles traded A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, one Eagles player who is being counted on to help replace Brown’s production was not available to practice.
Rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon watched Tuesday’s media-attended OTA session from the sideline while wearing a sleeve on his right leg.
The bad news is that Lemon’s soft tissue issue — which Quinyon Mitchell revealed is a hamstring injury — is expected to keep him out of the remainder of Philly’s spring workouts.
It’s unclear when exactly Lemon’s injury occurred. He seemingly participated in last week’s OTA practice on Tuesday before the media-attended session on Wednesday. Maybe it happened in Friday’s practice that was closed to media? Or yesterday’s practice that was also closed?
The Eagles have one more OTA practice remaining on Thursday, June 4 before mandatory minicamp begins next week.
