Updating a previous item, the Eagles fear Jeremy Maclin tore both his right ACL and MCL during Saturday's training camp practice. Team docs' "first examination" revealed Maclin may have torn two knee ligaments instead of a routine ACL tear. Either way, the early signs are ominous for the scant remaining hope Maclin might be able to play in 2013. Maclin's MRI is taking place Saturday afternoon. The year-ending injury improves DeSean Jackson's fantasy outlook slightly, and bumps Riley Cooper onto the first team.

NJ.com's Jordan Raanan reports Jeremy Maclin fears he tore his right ACL during Saturday's training camp practice. Maclin knows the feeling of an ACL tear because he suffered one during his college career. He will undergo an MRI shortly. Following the injury, Maclin immediately fell to the ground "writhing in pain." Riley Cooper is Maclin's direct backup at X receiver, although we wouldn't expect much fantasy production from the No. 2 wideout in Chip Kelly's run-dominated offense.

Jeremy Maclin was carted off the practice field with a potentially serious right leg injury Saturday. Maclin was "writhing in pain" on the field, trainers were looking at his "lower right leg or ankle," and both coach Chip Kelly and GM Howie Roseman ran over to survey the scene. The fifth-year receiver was unable to put any weight on his leg before being shuttled off on a cart with a towel draped over his face. None of this information paints a pretty picture. Stay tuned for an update.

Jeremy Maclin said he doesn't expect his contract situation to become a distraction. Maclin hasn't had any negotiations with the Eagles on a new deal and will play out the final year of his rookie contract. He reported to training camp Thursday, as expected. "How many of those guys got what they wanted [by holding out]?" Maclin said. "That's how I look at it."

Jeremy Maclin does not seem inclined to sign a contract extension right now.

Jeremy Maclin expects to be more involved in the offense under new coach Chip Kelly. "I'm going to be honest, the last offense was geared to the position that [DeSean Jackson] played," Maclin said. "D-Jack and I were able to complement each other, and it worked well. But that's just how the offense was tailored." Maclin has never topped 1,000 yards in a season in his four years, but there's good reason to be optimistic he'll do it this year. He's entering the final year of his contract, and the Eagles are going to run one of the quickest, up-tempo offenses in the league.

ESPN NFC East blogger Dan Graziano doesn't expect the Eagles to sign Jeremy Maclin to a long-term deal. The Eagles had "preliminary discussions" about an extension for Maclin, but he remains a strong candidate to play out the final year of his rookie deal without a new contract. Maclin is coming off a mediocre 2012 and is unproven in Chip Kelly's scheme. The sides are unlikely to reach a deal before next offseason.

Going into the final year of his rookie contract, Jeremy Maclin hopes to re-sign with the Eagles. "This is the team and organization that drafted me. I don't want to leave," Maclin said. "All I can do is go out there and play ball, and I'm going to play to the best of my ability." Maclin has deemed the initial talks as "whatever," but expects them to improve. Unless the new coaching staff is smitten with what it sees in the preseason, Maclin will likely play out his deal without an extension.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the Eagles and Jeremy Maclin have held "preliminary discussions" about a contract extension. Maclin, the No. 19 overall pick in 2009, is entering the final year of his rookie deal and is scheduled to earn $3.203 million. Although the two sides have discussed a new deal, Maclin has said that he doesn't expect one to get hammered out before next offseason. He's been a steady outside weapon, but Maclin has yet to post a 1,000-yard season as he's battled injuries and inconsistency.

Jeremy Maclin conceded that his next contract will "come down to the way I play this year." Entering the final season of his five-year rookie contract, Maclin knows he isn't a candidate for an extension. He's been a bit disappointing annually, constantly battling through nagging injuries and never reaching 1,000 yards. This year, Maclin will have all the motivation to succeed as the No. 2 wideout in Chip Kelly's new-look offense. We have him a few spots behind DeSean Jackson in our WR3 rankings.
