Howard Eskin of 610 WIP Philadelphia is "hearing" that Jeremy Maclin (illness) will be able to practice "right away" when the Eagles resume training camp at their NovaCare facility on Saturday. We suspected as much considering Maclin's been medically cleared, but still worry whether he'll have his strength and legs back, or be able to make it through anything close to a full practice. The Eagles are in the process of releasing a statement on Maclin. The good news is that he avoided cancer. The bad news is that his early-season effectiveness is in jeopardy.
