Good to hear, not just as an Eagles fan

Yep great news for Maclin - though whilst life threatening illness has been ruled out there is clearly a problem, healthy young men don't suffer huge weight loss etc for no reason, lets hope they find out the route cause for teh guy.
Interesting that they feel he could be fit to play week 1, I would have expected him to undergo intensive conditioning over the next month or so.

I imagine he's already in shape, just drastically underweight. Already knows the offense

Good news indeed. Seems to be quite a strange one.

On a similar note of illnesses amongst young WR's.... did they ever get to the bottom of the Percy Harvin's "mysterious migraines" that always put him on the injury report and out of practice?

I saw an interview with him a while back where he said he's had migraines his entire life but he hadn't had one for a some months and was hoping the condition was improving - he said some diet changes have also helped so maybe he'll be healthier this year
