Jeremy Maclin (shoulder, hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 11 after a third straight missed practice Friday.
Maclin is out indefinitely with multiple injuries, including a separated shoulder. The questionable tag has very little meaning for us. Expect to see Riley Cooper start at split end Sunday, with Jason Avant returning to the slot.

Jeremy Maclin (shoulder, hamstring) was missing from practice again on Friday.
Maclin isn't even observing at practice. The Eagles' leading receiver is said to be even further away than Michael Vick, who has reportedly been ruled out for Week 11. Expect Riley Cooper to draw the start against the Giants, though Steve Smith could very well rotate in with even snaps.

According to ESPN's John Clayton, Michael Vick (ribs) has a better chance to play this week than Jeremy Maclin (shoulder, hamstring).
A clean sweep of national and local writers expect Vick to sit out this week, so that leaves Maclin looking at more of a "week to week" timeline. Riley Cooper is expected to start opposite DeSean Jackson, though it's worth noting that Steve Smith edged him in snaps last week 60 to 23. Neither receiver will be a recommended WR3 option against the Giants.

Jeremy Maclin (shoulder) was held out of Eagles practice for the second straight day Thursday.
It's looking increasingly unlikely Maclin will suit up against the Giants. At this point, his best case scenario is probably being a game-time decision. You need to be making other plans for Week 11.

Jeremy Maclin (shoulder) will not practice Wednesday.
It's not time to panic just yet. AC joint sprains are relatively minor injuries that players play through often. If Maclin can't get back in a limited practice by the end of the week, then we'll know he has a Grade 2 kind of sprain. Jason Avant and Steve Smith would pick up snaps in the event Maclin sits.

Jeremy Maclin has been diagnosed with a sprained AC joint.
It's a fancy term for separated shoulder. Maclin's shoulder is considered a bigger issue than his hamstring heading into Week 11, but the hamstring alone would have made it difficult for him to turn in much practice time. It's hard to see him suiting up against the Giants. His status will be updated on Wednesday, if not sooner.

Jeremy Maclin (hamstring, shoulder) didn't sound "overly optimistic" about his chances of playing in Week 11 following Sunday's loss.
"We'll see tomorrow," Maclin said, suggesting he will undergo at least one MRI. DeSean Jackson should return after being disciplined Sunday, but the Eagles' passing game is suddenly completely out of sync and Maclin is the team's leader in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving TDs. At the very least, it sounds like he's going to miss practice time before the Giants game.

Jeremy Maclin left Sunday's game during the first quarter with a right shoulder injury and is questionable to return.
He just went back into the locker room to get it examined, leaving Jason Avant, Steve Smith and Riley Cooper to man the receiving corps. Maclin took an awkward, albeit unspectacular hit in the secondary and went immediately to the ground. Jason Avant and Riley Cooper will be the guys to watch if Maclin's injury is serious.

Jeremy Maclin posted 63 yards on four receptions in the Eagles' Week 10 loss to the Bears.
He has emerged as the team's No. 1 receiver, if anything, because DeSean Jackson is struggling with anything other than running clear out routes. Maclin struggled tonight just like his teammates, with a drop and a lack of big plays on contested balls. Look for him to improve against a burnable Cardinals secondary next week.
