Eagles WRs Jeremy Maclin, DeSean Jackson progressing

Aug 05, 2010

Starting wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin were still sidelined Thursday at Eagles training camp, but head coach Andy Reid is seeing improvement with both.

"DeSean Jackson, you saw [him] out running today, so [he'll] continue on with that. I don't think [he's] too far away here," Reid said.

"[Maclin's] feeling pretty good right now, so we'll see. He's had a little bit of a bone bruise in there when he hyperextended. He's feeling remarkably well. Just keeping tabs on him here and see how he does. I don't think it will be very long."

The injuries have opened the way for receivers like Riley Cooper, Kelley Washington and Chad Hall to practice with the first team.

Cooper has already become a fan favorite and catches just about everything thrown at him. He should make the team as a WR4 or WR5, behind Jackson, Maclin, Jason Avant and possibly Hank Baskett.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
