There've been rumors from cancer to HIV+ concerning Maclin. Not sure about any of it but his brother announced today that we would hear something tomorrow.

As of this morning, neither Maclin nor the Philadelphia Eagles have issued any kind of statement on the mysterious medical condition that has kept the star wide receiver from practicing in training camp. You won't get speculation here, and if I had any real information on it I'd tell you. But the longer this goes, the more it puts Maclin in jeopardy of missing the start of the season. And while his status as a football player obviously isn't as important as his personal health, we don't know anything about the latter except that it's not good enough to allow him to play. So that's all we can write about right now.
Kind of tired of waiting on this one. Either say "it's none of your damned business" or tell us what it is. Enough with the teasing.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said during a radio interview that the team expected Maclin to return from St. Louis "shortly" and rejoin the team He did not say anything about the wide receiver's being able to practice, nor did he say he would be ready by the start of the season, although Eagles coach Andy Reid has said he was optimistic about Maclin playing by Week 1. "We totally anticipate Jeremy being part of our football team," Roseman said on 97.5 the Fanatic. "We anticipate him being back here shortly, with us when we get back to NovaCare." The Eagles ended training camp at Lehigh University on Tuesday, and will travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers in their second preseason game on Thursday. They will return to the NovaCare Complex on Saturday. Maclin has not practiced with the team since the start of training camp. He reported to Lehigh six days after the start of camp, but spent most of his time lightly running through conditioning drills. He returned to his hometown of St. Louis for further testing on Thursday and has yet to leave. His brother, Andre Maclin, told the Sporting News on Monday that Maclin was "fine" and that an announcement would come Tuesday. The Eagles never confirmed this. "We're still waiting on the tests to come in, then we'll be able to get you that information," Reid said early Tuesday. Reid left open the possibility of an update before the end of the day, but it never came.

Viral and fungal infections are hard to diagnose and hard to treat, and can take a looong time to recover from.
Good, hate to see ill health keep a player from the game that he loves, look for him to come back with purpose.
