Rookie Report Card: Preseason Finale | Philadelphia Eagles News

The Eagles’ preseason finale against the Bengals delivered a gritty look at their rookie class—some flashed potential, others struggled, and a few were sidelined by injury. First-rounder Makai Lemon finally got reps after a hamstring delay, showing flashes with catches but also costly mistakes. Cole Payton and Micah Morris saw limited action, while Keyshawn James-Newby stood out with a sack and solid play. Undrafted gems like Deontae Lawson (fumble recovery) and Zion Wilson (tackle for loss) made big impacts, and newcomers Joshua Weru, Kapena Gushiken, and David Blay Jr. impressed with rapid development. It wasn’t pretty, but it gave fans a clearer picture of who’s ready as the regular season looms. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
