The absence of WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday's loss to the Rams obviously elevated the role and importance for every remaining Eagles receiver. But neither Dontayvion Wicks nor rookie Makai Lemon led the group. Darious Cooper drew a team-high 7 targets, caught three of them for a team-high 33 yards, and scored both Eagles TDs. Lemon followed with a 3-27 receiving line on 6 targets, while Wicks went 3-18 on 5 targets. Philadelphia totaled just 93 passing yards for the game, as Jalen Hurts endured his lowest yardage output and worst completion rate (44.4%) of any pro game he's started and finished.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He didn’t practice all week, and it’s unclear if he’ll miss more time beyond Week 4. WR Hollywood Brown (ankle) is also out. Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Darius Cooper figure to operate as Philly’s top 3 WRs against the Rams. See where those guys land in the Week 4 WR rankings.

ESPN's Tim McManus reports that there's "not much optimism" that Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will play vs. the Rams this weekend. Smith has missed the first 2 practices of this week. He was on the injury report with a hamstring last week but played every single offensive snap vs. the Bears. We'll look for more details on Smith's timeline for return, but he should be on benches for Week 4.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is expected to miss "a few weeks" with an MCL sprain suffered in the Week 2 win over the Titans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

DeVonta Smith unsurprisingly led Philly receiving in Sunday's win over the Titans. He racked up 10 catches for 117 yards and a TD. That included 4 receptions on the game-winning scoring drive. Dontayvion Wicks followed with a 5-74 receiving line on 6 targets. No other Eagle drew more than 3 targets or caught more than two passes. WR Darius Cooper landed the game-winning TD among 2 receptions for 26 yards. Rookie Makai Lemon finished with just 1 catch for 14 yards. He matched Wicks in playing time, though, after nearly equaling his route count (31-29) in the opener. Does that mean we can expect more production soon from the first-round pick?

Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon were both full participants in Monday's practice for the first time since August 3, according to insider Jimmy Kempski. A healthy Smith is locked in as the team's top receiver. We'll see if Lemon can build momentum now after a slow, injury-filled start to his Eagles career.

Eagles WR Makai Lemon was limited in Thursday's joint practice with the Patriots, according to insider Jeff McLane. It was the rookie's first practice of any kind in more than two weeks. He also missed time this spring with hamstring trouble.

The Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski writes: "Through five practices, [Dontayvion] Wicks pretty clearly looks like the second-best receiver in camp." Wicks has impressed with his route running, blocking, and even his hands, per Kempski. Rookie WR Makai Lemon, meanwhile, was quiet early in camp before being sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon are sidelined on Tuesday with hamstring injuries. There's been nothing to suggest either is serious, but we all know how tricky hamstring injuries can be for skill-position players.

New Eagles WR Makai Lemon ran 75.6% of his college routes from the slot. But the Eagles believe he can also kick to the outside as a pro. That'll be key to keeping Lemon on the field in 2-WR sets.

The Eagles continue to discuss an A.J. Brown trade, and the Patriots remain highly interested in acquiring him. Brown has been at the center of trade rumors for most of the offseason, but his contract made a pre-June 1st move unlikely. Now, with both sides interested in a deal, Brown appears likely to head to New England as Drake Maye's long-term No. 1 WR.

The Packers are trading WR Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles in exchange for 2026 fifth- and 2027 sixth-round picks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Philadelphia is also giving Wicks a one-year, $12.5 million extension that keeps him signed through the 2027 season. Wicks has teased fantasy owners with a handful of strong outings over the last four seasons and registered strong marks in advanced metrics like targets per route and yards per route. But he never carved out a consistent role in Green Bay. There's opportunity for him to do so in Philadelphia ... if WR A.J. Brown is traded.

Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Bears. That should leave Matthew Golden as the No. 4 WR behind Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Jayden Reed, but the rookie isn't a recommended play in any fantasy formats.

Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) is questionable for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Bears. He was limited in practice all week. Wicks figures to be Green Bay's No. 4 WR if he's cleared and isn't much of a factor in playoff fantasy contests.
