- The Philadelphia Eagles are heading to London for Week 5 with a projected depth chart that looks less like a settled plan than a series of emergency adjustments.
- Dontayvion Wicks is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, and he was limited in practice.
- Drew Kendall is also questionable with a knee injury and has yet to practice this week, leaving real doubt about whether he can play against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- Lemon is expected to step up at receiver, even though his early season production has been uneven.
- Kendall’s injury is forcing Jake Majors into the starting lineup at center, and he may be making his first career NFL start in Week 5 against the Jaguars.
- The Eagles’ projected changes do not stop there.
- For Philadelphia, the Week 5 question is not just who is available.
- It is whether these stopgap moves can become something more than temporary cover.
- Lemon and Majors are being asked to do more than fill empty spots on a depth chart; they are being asked to make the reshuffled version of the Eagles look functional.
