Eagles rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon returns to practice after missing time with a hamstring injury, ahead of the team’s season opener. Multiple reports describe his return to on-field work as an important step in his recovery.

The outlets differ slightly on how long he has been sidelined and what he missed before practicing again. Newsweek says Lemon has been out for “weeks” and is back at practice, expressing confidence about Week 1. The Athletic reports he sits out two weeks of practice and the Eagles’ first two preseason games, adding that he has catching up to do. Yahoo Sports/NFL similarly places the injury absence at about three weeks and notes he does not believe the layoff set him back.
