IS TALKIN' SOUL WITH DONOVAN MORGAN
The Eagles have not provided an update on wide receiver Jeremy Maclin's condition today, but general manager Howie Roseman said he expects Maclin will be back in town when the team returns to NovaCare this weekend.
“We totally anticipate Jeremy being part of our football team," Roseman said an interview on 97.5 The Fanatic. "We anticipate him being back here shortly, with us when we get back to Nova Care.”
Roseman said there was nothing to report at this point, but added, "Hopefully we'll have an update for you guys shortly."
Maclin's brother, Andre, told the Sporting News that his brother was "fine" and that an update would come today. He said he could not reveal details because "they have us under a gag order."
In his news conference earlier, coach Andy Reid said, when asked about the timeframe for an update, “Today, right? Well possibly today. We haven’t finished today, I don’t think. We have a few hours.”
"We’re still waiting on some tests to come in and we’ll able to give you that information," Reid said. "When we get it, we’ll get it to you and let you know."
Maclin has been in St. Louis getting tests for an undisclosed illness that has sidelined him for all of training camp.

since 2002.
Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les
only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no
penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite
what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News
from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much
lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their
two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey.

Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982.
He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the
Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a
selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre
and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas,
working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas
Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was
boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to
blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley,
a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over
that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific
daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy,
25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
