DeVonta Smith to be 1st on the depth chart

It remains to be seen whether new additions Makai Lemon, a 2025 first-round pick, Dontayvion Wicks and Marquise Brown, with DeVonta Smith assuming the No. 1 wide receiver role, can fill the void created by Brown's departure.

Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
