Eagles WR Makai Lemon continued to take advantage of injury absences at his position in Sunday's loss to the Giants. He led the team in targets (9), receptions (6), and receiving yards (61) as new starting QB Joe Milton threw for just 169 yards on 18-of-34 passing. It was Lemon's third straight game with at least 8 targets and 6 catches. WR teammates DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks missed all three of those contests with injuries. WR Darius Cooper followed Lemon with 8 targets against the Giants but managed just 2 catches.

Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) missed their second straight practices on Friday. Insider Jeff McLane gets the "sense" that both guys will miss Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys. We'll see if they're able to practice on Saturday and then how they're listed on the final injury report. Smith and Wicks' absences would leave Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper as Philadelphia's top 2 WRs.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith returned from a two-game hamstring injury Sunday to lead the team across receiving categories. He drew a game-high 14 targets (31.1% of QB Tanner McKee's total pass attempts) and tallied 7 catches (26.9%) for 75 yards (34.9%) and Philly's lone passing TD. Makai Lemon checked in next among Eagles WRs with 6 targets (3-19 receiving), followed by:

• Dontayvion Wicks -- 4 (2-24)
• Darius Cooper -- 2 (1-9)
• Elijah Moore -- 2 (1-4)

Wicks left early in the fourth quarter after appearing to hurt his right ankle but returned for the team's next possession. Smith also left briefly after landing hard on an incomplete deep throw but missed just one play.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) didn’t practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. WR Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday but got in a limited practice on Friday and has no game designation. Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Darius Cooper will again serve as Philadelphia’s top 3 WRs vs. Jacksonville.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Insider Jeff McLane reported this past weekend that Smith's hamstring injury is expected to cost him multiple games, so don't count on him playing vs. the Jaguars on Sunday. That'll again leave Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Darius Cooper as Philly's top 3 WRs.
