APReceiver Jeremy Maclin’s contract year could be getting off to a not-so-good start.
Via multiple reports, Maclin suffered an injury during Eagles practice that has left him on the ground and, as Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com puts it, “writhing in pain.” Maclin was carted off the field.
Per Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the situation “[d]oes not look good.”
While Maclin was down, both coach Chip Kelly and G.M. Howie Roseman walked over to check on Maclin. He left practice with a towel over his head, after trying to put weight on his right leg.
Maclin, a first-round pick in 2009, recently said he expects to be more involved this year. Much of that depends on the severity of his injury.
Great, so who is going to start at WR in Week 1? The two QBs that think for sure they are the guy would like to know.
Hate to see that happen to such a great player. Get better soon, J-Mac!
Don’t tell me this is another injury year! Benn got hurt yesterday and now J Mac! hope its not too serious.
You’re are right Maclin, you are that dude, that is on the IP.
Hate to see this…but Riley Cooper time!!
I know, move Vick to wr.
Shame for a good player,don’t throw the word great around so easily
And the wheels begin to come off.
Not Good. Hopefully it is not to serious. Good Luck Maclin. HTTR!
Damn.
hate to see a kid go down like that.
well,,, run baby run .
next man up.
Damn, that sucks. I always liked Maclin more than that loudmouth tool DeSean Jackson.
Sounds like he tore his Achilles.
Crabtree, Ingram, maybe Harvin, and Now Maclin. Training camp has just started and tons of guys are getting hurt. I know football is a violent game but these guys are going down in non-contact drills. This is why anybody doing a fantasy draft before August is a fool.
Hope it’s not serious
Not even close to being a fan of the Eagles but there’s nothing worse than training camp injuries when it comes to football.
Might want to consider moving someone to WR, like Vick. It would be a better use of his talents.
Who’s that receiver for the eagles that can’t stay healthy? Oh, sorry Maclin, I didn’t see your shirt.
Terrell Owens is available.
It would be worth adding him just to make McNabb uncomfortable during his retirement ceremony.
Too bad. Heck of a player. Iggles and Cowboys have the injury bug!
First Percy, now Maclin gets hurt. Every year we as fans look to a fresh start, but some things never change. Ryan Mathews will be next.
Let’s hope for the best, but based on initial descriptions, this does not look good. Such a shame, not that there is ever a good time to get hurt, but this is the worst possible scenario for a kid like him.
LOL, the Steelers laugh at the other side of PA.
Damaris Johnson is the guy to have now.
rg3 is coming for u
JMac is not even good let alone great, like the kid but he just can’t stay healthy. Injuries while unfortunate, must be part of the analysis of a players worth.
I’m a Giant fan, but I hope its not a serious injury. There’s nothing worse than having one of your best players out for a long period of time, especially since training camps are just getting underway. There’s nothing worse! Here’s hoping he’s back soon.
I think the NFL needs to do a study and see if there are ways to prevent all of these early camp injuries. Maybe spend the first week doing only stretching and conditioning? Im not saying that stretching more could have prevented Maclins injury, but these injuries are brutal to a team.

What in that article said anything that would suggest an achillies, dr phil?
Not an Eagles fan but that sucks to see. He’s a good athlete and good dude. Hope it’s nothing serious and wish to a speedy recovery!
I hate the Eagles bit the only player on that team I can say I like is Macklin. He’s THE most consistent player on that team. You know exactly what you are getting with him. He also isn’t a loud mouthed spoiled little brat like number 10. Speedy recovery to you sir. Hopefully when you get back your team will have a real qb under center.
They have Arrelious Benn and the 6’8″ kid out of Boston College who ran like a 4.3. They’ll be fine.
Unfortunately.
HTTR
fu*kkkkkk

This is why anyone who drafts Maclin or Percy Harvin is a fool, not people who draft before August and make good calls to avoid injury plagued players. Seattle made a horrible decision giving a guy who has never completed a full season 25mil guaranteed. Seattle has no shot to overthrow the 49ers, this is our division Seattle Hipsters!
Go Cawks!
Was bound to happen sooner or later. Same goes for Vick. Some guys just can’t stay healthy.
Breaston would be a good pick up for the Eagles.
give randy moss a call!
Go Cowboys…but I still hate to see injuries. Really sucks for the team and the player to lose a valuable asset before week 1 even starts.
Jeremy “self-talkin” Maclin probably got hurt trying to avoid invisible defenders. Shoulda worked on his falling to the ground technique a little more this past offseason
As a Skins fan, I truly hate to see this. To tell you the truth, I hate all of the injuries that’s been happening throughout the NFC East. I like for the all the teams to be at full strength, it’s what makes us the NFC Beast. Get well soon Mac. HTTR
Just reported torn ACL….done for the year
That sucks, another player lost to the training camp grinder..
ACL suspected but not confirmed yet. Too bad…great kid.
No big deal. T.O. is better than Maclin right now.
I was there…..it’s an ACL!
Dream Team. Zero Lombardi trophies.
real shame.
Only hear about this guy when he’s hurt. Bust, could have drafted Percy Harvin.

We had no wheels to begin with 😦
So much for the power smoothies…
Looks like Chip is running his players too hard. Gonna have to start dipping into the practice squad before long.
From Missouri, watched him kill it at Mizzou and have met him at a golf course for work before. He’s a terrific person and hate to see this.
Poor guy can’t catch a break! Good player, right attitude. Shame.
