What happened: Dontayvion Wicks is taking first-team reps in Philadelphia Eagles camp while first-round pick Makai Lemon has been sidelined with a hamstring injury for most of OTAs. The Eagles acquired the fourth-year receiver in a trade and signed him to a one-year extension.

Why it matters: Camp reps with the starters are a real signal heading into the 2026 season, especially for a receiver on a prove-it deal who is motivated to earn a bigger role. With Lemon working back from the hamstring, the early-summer snaps give Wicks a runway to establish himself rather than slot in as a depth piece.
