BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Looks like we’re all just going to have to wait a little longer to find out exactly what’s going on with Jeremy Maclin.
Andre Maclin, brother of the Eagles receiver, told The Sporting News on Monday that a revelation about Maclin’s undisclosed condition would be forthcoming at some point Tuesday.
So far, just radio silence from the Maclin camp.
“We definitely will have some news tomorrow,” Andre Maclin said Monday. “That’s when we find out exactly what’s going on.”
But as of 4 p.m. EST, there was still no news on Maclin, either from the Maclin family or from the Eagles.
On Monday, Andre Maclin said his brother is “fine” and will be able to rejoin the Eagles soon.
Maclin did not practice during the Eagles’ three-week training camp, which ended Tuesday at Lehigh University. He’s on the Reserve-Non-Football-Related-Illness list.
Maclin spent a week with the Eagles at Lehigh before returning home to St. Louis last Tuesday. He has not rejoined the team since.
While he was at training camp, Maclin declined all interview requests, although he did allow that the rumors he was wearing about his condition -- many of them very dire -- were untrue.
The Eagles, presumably because of the HIPAA privacy law that limits what information employers can reveal about employees who are sick, have not commented at all on Maclin’s condition, although head coach Andy Reid has said he’s optimistic Maclin will be available when the Eagles open the regular season on Sept. 11 against the Rams back in Maclin’s hometown of St. Louis.
Maclin is one of the NFL’s most productive young wide receivers. Among players in NFL history before their 23rd birthday, Maclin ranks fourth in TD catches (17), fifth in receiving yards (1,726) and sixth in catches (125).
Last year, his second season out of Missouri, Maclin ranked seventh in the NFL with 10 touchdown receptions and caught 70 passes for 964 yards.
