Ahead of Monday night's Week 3 game against Chicago, the preview names Eagles receiver Makai Lemon and safety Andrew Mukuba as players to watch. It expects Lemon to get his biggest snap share yet amid injuries and A.J. Brown's move to New England.
The writer says DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert are hurt, while Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson is unlikely to play. If Philadelphia's injured offensive line and banged-up running backs struggle, the preview expects Jalen Hurts to get rid of the ball quickly, potentially giving Lemon more chances.
For Philadelphia's defense, the author praises Mukuba's tackling and range, and says Bears quarterback Case Keenum should be wary of him in the secondary. The preview also names Eagles cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell, Riq Woolen and Cooper DeJean as the coverage group.
