Jalen Hurts on his way with words, new offense, playing with Makai Lemon and more 🎙️: @AJRoss_TV https://t.co/bqPCZO86 Via @NFLonCBS on X

What happened: Jalen Hurts said a month of camp gave the offense time to test a broad playbook and learn from its results. Makai Lemon returned to full participation Monday and resumed catching passes from Hurts in team drills.

Why it matters: Hurts has limited time to sharpen Sean Mannion's system before the 2026 regular season. Makai Lemon is back after a hamstring issue cost the first-round receiver most of camp.

By the numbers: Lemon went 21 days between full practices, from Aug. 3 to Aug. 24.

What to watch: The next test is how quickly Hurts and Lemon turn their limited camp work into regular-season timing.
