DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin Questionable For Eagles In Week 2

Wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin have been listed as questionable for the Philadelphia Eagles' Week 2 game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Adam Schefter. Both missed practice on Thursday, but were able to return in a limited capacity on Friday.

Of the two, Jackson appears more likely to play, as his injury is considered less severe. Jackson suffered a pulled hamstring on Wednesday at practice.

Maclin, meanwhile, injured his hip pointer during the Eagles' Week 1 victory over the Cleveland Browns. While the injury is not considered too serious, it is extremely painful.

Last weekend, Maclin and Jackson were Michael Vick's two most targeted receivers, combining for 11 receptions, 173 yards, and a touchdown.

If Maclin cannot play, rookie Damaris Johnson would be the likely replacement. Johnson was undrafted out of Tulsa, and caught one reception for ten yards in his first game last weekend.

Jeremy Maclin Injury: No Wednesday Practice For Eagles Receiver

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin will not be participating in practice on Wednesday due to a hip injury, according to head coach Andy Reid. Maclin sustained the injury in the season opener against the Cleveland Browns.

After requiring medical attention on two separate occasions on a single drive, the 24-year-old receiver had to return to the team's locker room. Despite the injury, Maclin was able to finish the game and recorded game-highs in almost every receiving category compiling seven receptions for 96 yards and one touchdown.

As of this time, Maclin's status for Sunday's home opener against the Baltimore Ravens is unknown as Reid has stated that the receiver is still sore. In the event that Maclin is unable to play, the Eagles recently-signed free-agent receiver Mardy Gilyard who would presumably dress in his place.
