(Rotoworld) Jeremy Maclin (undisclosed) was participating in running drills off to the side of Eagles practice Thursday morning. Analysis: Although Maclin isn't practicing yet, it's a great sign that he's out on the field with his teammates. It should help put to bed any ideas that his status for the season is in jeopardy. Once Maclin does get back in practice, we should find out exactly what was ailing him.


Good sign that he is running

I don't want to alarm anyone but there have been rumors in the last 24 hours that Jeremy Maclin may have lymphoma.

Hopefully these rumors are just that, but considering the secrecy involved and the odd twists this story has taken the past few days I thought it was worth mentioning.

If his problem was not a serious one dont you all think the Eagles would be a little more forth coming with what the illness really is and would be less secretive ??

It's not sounding good for Maclin.

Well, it's not unusual for the Eagles to be secretive about almost everything. Andy Reid never answers questions at press conferences and they can be hush hush about things that aren't even that important in the grand scheme of things.

Both the organization and Maclin have declared that he will be ready for Week 1 and Maclin has been running around during training camp before getting sent back home to rest. It seems an awfully long time (and a lot of doctors) to not be able to diagnose a form a cancer and get him to start treatment.

Mono does have something to do with Lymphocytes, the Epstein-Bar is most concerning

CSN Philly - Eagles coach Andy Reid says wide receiver Jeremy Maclin should be ready to play by the start of the regular season.

Philadelphia will open the season on Sept. 11 in St. Louis.

Maclin hasn't practiced this summer and the Eagles still don't know exactly what is wrong with him.

"I think he's going to be ready," Reid said. "I guess I'm optimistic. I'm waiting to hear the results, but I'm optimistic."

Maclin, who had 70 catches for 964 yards and 10 touchdowns last year, hasn't practiced yet this summer because of a mystery illness.

I am worried about Luekemia. This happened to a cousin of mine, had off and on mono type symptons and they finally tested and found it. She died a few years ago after it relapsed and the bone marrow transfer didnt'work.

 

[eaglechick]

well let's just wait and see what it is.

btw andy etc. canNOT say what it is, even if they know, unless maclin says they can. it's against the law

Yep if it is a major illness, it falls under Hippa

(RotoWire) Despite the prediction by his brother Andre that there would be an announcement Tuesday regarding the health of Maclin, coach Andy Reid offered no new information Tuesday morning, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Analysis: Reid apparently "left open the possibility for an update later today," though it's not clear how he did that. It'd be a real letdown if the Eagles had no news on Maclin on Tuesday after his brother's optimistic report a day ago.

(RotoWire) Though his brother Andre promised that news on Maclin's mysterious illness would come Tuesday, there' been no new update on his status, southjerseylocalnews.com reports. "We're still waiting on tests to come in," coach Andy Reid said. "When we get them we'll let you know." Analysis: Andre Maclin earlier stated that his brother was "fine," adding that he was "confident" Jeremy would play this season. Reading between the lines, plus a quick glance at the calendar, suggests that Maclin's Week 1 availability could be in some peril, barring a very quick return to the field.

 

[Birdman]

Maclin declared that the mysterious illness has left his body. He had been undergoing tests for lymphoma and is still recovering from surgery that turned up negative. He should be back on the practice field shortly, but it may take him some time to regain his strength and weight.

Sounds like a scary experience, but this is great news!

:smile:

 

[Runnik's Hambones]

Yeah, I'm glad to hear some good news from this. However, let's not forget that if a biopsy comes back negative that doesn't mean that we know yet what made him so sick. Who's to say it wont come back?

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin has been deemed healthy and cleared to start returning to football activities following a frightening offseason ailment, team trainer Rick Burkholder said Wednesday.

Burkholder said the Eagles will wait seven to 10 days before Maclin can practice, in order to make sure he is properly conditioned and at a proper playing weight. According to sources familiar with his medical review, Maclin showed up to Eagles training camp with rapid weight loss, a lack of enegry, swollen lymph nodes and a low hemoglobin blood count. The third-year wideout underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy in St. Louis to examine his abdomen, a bone marrow test and also had biopsy of his lymph nodes that was negative.

"That's first and foremost, I want everyone to know I'm fine, I'm healthy," Maclin told FoxSports.com on Wednesday. "I was tested for everything and every single test came back negative. I don't have mono, I don't have AIDS, leukemia, all the things people were guessing on, there was nothing. I was being tested for lymphoma and thank God everything has come back negative.

"I wanted my privacy on this until I had answers. I don't like to talk unless I have all the answers about what I'm talking about. It was frustrating to hear all the rumors about me. It wasn't until this morning that I finally got my final answer and thankfully I'm healthy and ready to return to football."

Maclin was cleared after his final test, one for life-threatening diseases including cancer and leukemia, came back negative Wednesday, the sources said.

Maclin said the entire scare was caused by a simple virus."It was all caused by an inflammatory virus, something that just runs its course through your body or you can treat with medicine,'' Maclin told FoxSports.com. "I didn't need medicine. It's just something I had to deal with."

Maclin's hemoglobin count was 10 when he reported compared to a normal level of 14, the sources said. That is often a sign of anemia, a disease in which one's body does not receive an ample supply of oxygen through red blood cells. Other abnormalities can develop if the hemoglobin count is left untreated.

The diagnostic laparoscopy -- a surgical procedure that allowed doctors to visually examine his abdominal region -- did not reveal any cancerous tumors, the sources said. The procedure in St. Louis was done late last week and it was monitored by his surrogate father, Dr. Jeff Parres, a urologist who practices in the area, according to sources.

When he was initially sidelined in camp, Maclin told reporters that he lost as much as 15 pounds when he suffered from "mono-like" symptoms in February and March, but mononucleosis was never definitively diagnosed.

Good to know...hopefully he can get healthy and get back on the field.

[Phicinfan]

Thank god! What a scare to have to wait THIS long to get the final report back on all the testing to say yea or nay. I have new respect for this guy to be going through this and not lashing out and all while all the reports were swirling.

glad to hear he was cleared!
