PHILADELPHIA Eagles rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon was suited up and participated in individual drills Monday but did not take part in team periods during Philadelphias first padded practice of training camp. Lemon was not listed on the teams pre-practice injury report, and the Eagles did not immediately provide an explanation for his absence from competitive drills. His status will bear monitoring when Philadelphia returns to the field.The team announced that outside linebacker Keyshawn James-Newby would not practice because of an ankle injury. Offensive linemen Micah Morris and Jaeden Roberts were sidelined by shoulder and calf injuries, respectively, while safety Cole Wisniewski remained out with a hamstring issue.Right tackle Lane Johnson missed his second consecutive practice because of an excused, non-injury-related absence. Second-year offensive lineman Cameron Williams was listed as limited while working through a knee contusion.Lemons omission from the report distinguishes his situation from those absences. He completed positional work before stepping aside when the offense moved into team periods, suggesting the Eagles were controlling his workload for a reason that had not been disclosed. Philadelphia selected Lemon after a productive career at Southern California. He dealt with a hamstring issue during the spring but participated in summer workouts organized by Jalen Hurts and was active during the opening practices of camp.Lemon is competing for a role in a deep receiver room led by DeVonta Smith. Missing team repetitions can slow a rookies development, particularly while learning multiple alignments in Sean Mannions offense.One reduced practice should not materially affect that competition. The clearer indication will come during Philadelphias next session and whether Lemon returns to full team work.This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: Makai Lemon sat out team drills during the Eagles' padded practice
