Philadelphia Eagles
Maclin injures knee and back in practice
WR recovering from right ACL surgery in 2013
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 2 2014, 4:50 pm

The practice fields at the NovaCare Complex became suddenly quiet when Jeremy Maclin fell to the ground and ignored chiding from the defense to get up. The jokes stopped once Maclin grabbed his left knee. It wasn’t "the" ACL knee, but to see the wide receiver go down during a non-contact drill - although there was some contact - had to be a frightening moment for the Eagles. But Maclin quickly smiled and chuckled when LeSean McCoy ran over and said something and just seconds later bounced up from the turf and walked back to the huddle. He said afterward that he was OK.

FFToday's Take: Given Maclin's recent injury history, the Eagles had every right to be scared here. As long as he is healthy, Maclin belongs in the low-end fantasy WR2 discussion as he assumes the spot in the offense left behind by DeSean Jackon. Philadelphia added Vanderbilt WR Jordan Matthews in the draft, likely in part to have some quality depth if Maclin suffers another serious injury.
