NFL: Report, Eagles Jeremy Maclin Out For Season
Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin appears to have suffered a torn ACL in his right knee at practice earlier today. If in fact it is his ACL, that would mean he is done for this season. That would hurt the Eagles offense as he and DeSean Jackson make up a good young duo at that position. Maclin has missed plenty of time before, and has missed at least one game in each of his four seasons. Last year he had almost 1,000 yards receiving and 7 touchdowns. He was expected to play a major role in new coach Chip Kelly’s offense this season. With a stable quarterback situation he has the potential to be a pro bowl type of player. If his ACL is in fact torn, we wish him a speedy recovery.
