Where he fits
Makai Lemon plays for the PHI as a WR, wearing number 9. This is his first season in the league.
His job: The team's own depth chart lists him number 2 at punt returner — that's the order they'd normally use.
Last time out: Makai had 3 catches on 4 targets for -5 yards. He scored NO touchdowns and threw none. He was on the field for about 64% of his team's offensive plays, so he is one of their main options.
This season: Makai had 3 catches on 4 targets for -5 yards. He scored NO touchdowns and threw none.
He isn't on the official week 2 injury report — no designation was filed for him.
