Maclin (ankle) won't take part in Tuesday's practice, but head coach Andy Reid said the wideout is making good progress, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star, Reid confirmed that Maclin was diagnosed with a mild high ankle sprain. The star wide receiver thus appears to be in serious danger of missing Saturday's game in New England, but the 'mild' designation leaves some hope that he'll be ready. If Maclin is ultimately absent or limited, a slew of players will be candidates to take on added targets, with Chris Conley the most obvious bet to account for most of Maclin's usual snaps.
