Maclin reports to Eagles camp

POSTED: Tuesday, August 2, 2011, 12:45 PM

Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin has reported to training camp at Lehigh.

"Lehigh...glad to be back!" Maclin wrote on Twitter.

The team is off Tuesday and resumes practice Wednesday. The Eagles would not comment on whether Maclin will participate immediately.

Maclin had been out with an unspecified illness. He suffered from mononucleosis-like symptoms earlier this year. He had said he lost 20 pounds due to the illness, but by May had said he gained the weight back.

With Maclin back, the Eagles have all but one of their stars in camp, though not yet on the field. The team is still waiting for DeSean Jackson to report (no word yet on when that might happen) and Nnamdi Asomugha, Jason Babin, Cullen Jenkins and Vince Young are all barred from practicing until Aug. 4 due to the new collective bargaining agreement.

Those who have been practicing are clearly thankful for the day off, as mandated by the new labor deal.

"This day off feels amazing.. Thank u new cba! Hopefully I can get the spring back in my legs for 2morro" guard Todd Herremans wrote on Twitter.

Cornerback Jorrick Calvin headed to a South Street nail salon, according to his Twitter account.

"getting pampered this chair feels so good on my back and this jet on my toes wow," he posted.

Earlier today the Eagles sold out of their single-game tickets in less than one hour, according to the team.

    pay D-JAX and get rid of wasted salaries in players like Jorrick and Colt Anderson. Trade Hanson to free up that $2M so we can keep Asante and play all 3 all the time with Allen and occassionally Coleman, Lindley or Marsh (if he is ready later). Then I will know this team is going to the superbowl and going to win.

    Hey, i finally got smart and figured out how to opt out of your way too annoying audio/video ads, and then this article sabotauges me with two really loud, obnoxious ads that come blaring out of my speakers. The guy in the next cubicle is PISSED! If my boss fires me, I'm suing...someone.

    hope Maclin is feeling good, he is HUGE. I expect he will have a longer and better career than DJax.

    Connorjr. is right on all accounts.

    If you really just have to get yourself a mani-pedi, keep it to yourself. Don't let your teammates or Philly fans know about it. Calvin is unsalvageable at this point.

    Colt Anderson, though, was a good contributor on special teams. Need those kind of guys, unless the undrafted FA's work out.
