JEREMY MACKLIN
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Macklin suffered a torn ACL during the team’s second full day of training camp Saturday, effectively ending the five year veteran’s season before it even started.
According to reporters, Macklin suffered the injury in a freak practice field accident where he wasn’t even touched by a teammate. He laid writing on the ground in pain for several minutes before trainers were able to assist him. The newspaper reported Macklin was carted off the field without being able to put any weight on his leg
“I [had] seen it out of the corner of my eye,” quarterback Michael Vick told USA Today. “I [had] seen him fall. And usually, when a guy falls like that, you know it’s something to be worried about.”
“It looked like his knee just kind of buckled on him a little bit,” wide receiver DeSean Jackson told the newspaper. “Hopefully it’s not too bad and that he can get back out there and play with us this year.”
