​PHILADELPHIA − As the Eagles await the return of wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, there’s one receiver who has benefitted the most from their absences.That, of course, is rookie Makai Lemon, who has had a combined 13 catches for 124 yards over the last two games. Those were both games that Smith (hamstring) and Wicks (ankle) have missed.It’s not known yet if Smith or Wicks can play in the Eagles’ next game, on Nov. 8 against the Giants. The Eagles begin their practice week on Nov. 4.Buy Philadelphia Eagles tickets”I think that Mekhi, his process is continuing to go well because of who he is,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said before practice on Nov. 4. “In whatever situation he has been in … I just think he handles himself awesome, like a pro. He’s tough. He loves football. He’s got high football IQ, and those guys have a tendency to reach their ceiling, and everyone comes along at different times.”I think you can see how scrappy he is, when he plays football in every phase. Whether it’s with the ball in his hands, whether that’s him running routes or whether that’s him doing some of the dirty work. We really value that and that always helps when a guy is consistent like Mekhi is.”Lemon got off to a slow start this season in part because he missed three weeks of training camp with a hamstring injury. Then the chances early on weren’t there because Smith and Wicks were getting most of the targets. Even if Smith and/or Wicks is able to return against the Giants, Lemon has shown that he would warrant his share of targets.”I’m just trying to make sure I continue just to get better each and every day,” Lemon said after the Eagles’ 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders on Nov. 1.As for other injuries, it appears as if the Eagles came away relatively unscathed from their loss to the Commanders, their sixth straight. That includes running back Saquon Barkley, who for the second straight game was on a pitch count because of injuries to his back and hamstring.Sirianni: I have support from ownerSirianni said he continues to talk to Eagles chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie after every game, even as the Eagles’ losing streak has grown to six, the team’s longest since the 2012 Eagles lost eight straight in the final season of Andy Reid’s 14 seasons as head coach.When asked what those conversations are like, Sirianni said: “I’ve always felt nothing but complete support from Mr. Lurie in everything, through good times, through bad times. That’s huge, right? That’s huge to be able to know that the owner has your back in all these situations. We’ve been (through) the high highs, we’ve been low, and I felt nothing but support. My communication remains the same with him as it has whether we’re on a winning streak or whether we’re on a losing streak.”So I love that steadiness, and I’m trying to give that same thing to the guys − the consistency, the steadiness because I know I’m receiving it from, from the very top.”Contact Martin Frank at mfrank
