How Eagles WR room with DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon is shaping up in wake of A.J. Brown trade
A ton of targets from Jalen Hurts will be up for grabs in 2026 with Brown's departure. Here's who will receive them.
The Philadelphia Eagles have entered an NFL season with multiple questions at wide receiver, following their trade for A.J. Brown to the Patriots. In the absence of Brown, the Eagles have been working to rebuild their WR room through the draft and free agency. The current depth chart includes Devonta Smith, the team's clear top option, with Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon as the next two receivers to watch.
Rookie Makai Lemon has faced hamstring injuries, while Dontayvion Wicks has shown promise in training camp. Veteran Hollywood Brown is expected to provide consistent production as the team's safety net. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the roster, the Eagles appear to have solidified their depth at the position for the 2026 season, a significant change from previous years when Brown and Smith dominated the target share.
