BETHLEHEM – Even though a family member promised the shroud of mystery cloaked over the health of Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin would be lifted Tuesday, the wait continues.
Despite Andre Maclin, Jeremy’s brother, telling The Sporting News Monday that his brother’s condition would be revealed Tuesday, it didn’t happen.
While the Maclin family remained mum, the Eagles didn’t offer up any help either.
Continuing their shuffle-ball-change around the subject, the Eagles decided not to say much about the Maclin situation.
“We’re still waiting on tests to come in,” coach Andy Reid said. “When we get them we’ll let you know.”
Pressed further about Maclin’s health and that of defensive tackle Mike Patterson, who at least has been running conditioning drills while recovering from a seizure that may or may not have been the result of a brain condition, Reid again laced up the tap shoes.
“We’re being cautious with both (Patterson) and Maclin,” Reid said. “We want to make sure everything is done and cleared up. I know they both can play football. I understand their talents. Let’s take care of the other stuff and make sure they’re o.k.”
Despite all the activity surrounding the Eagles at this year’s unique training camp, the biggest story at the beginning and end of the three-week session at Lehigh University remained the same.
Maclin never practiced with the Eagles and although he spent a week with the team at Lehigh, he flew home to St. Louis midway through camp and has not been back since
