Eagles name DeVonta Smith top receiver but leave No. 2 spot open
x/the-philadelphia-eagles
— Sep 6, 2026
The Eagles expect DeVonta Smith to be the primary receiver with a developing rotation around him that includes young playmakers like Wicks and Lemon, while Makai Lemon’s rookie status and hamstring recovery add urgency for immediate contributions. Off the line and depth pieces, including Kendall and Lampkin, are proving more reliable—bolstering interior O-line upside—and the team faces typical 2026 scrutiny with a need for several receivers to step up alongside a high-performing rushing duo.

As long as Smith stays healthy the offense should be fine, but that No. 2 spot is a real question mark heading into the season.

Weather

Hawaii faces another potential tropical storm or hurricane this weekend as a developing system near the islands could strengthen to tropical cyclone and pass close to the Big Island, bringing heavy rainfall and possible impacts similar to the flood-and-mwind damage from Hurricane Lala; forecasters say the storm could be named Iselle or Moke depending on its development and location. The ongoing El Niño-driven season, the memory of Lala’s devastation, and multiple disturbances monitoring near Hawaii keep residents on alert for additional rainfall, flooding, and power outages over the coming days.
