Eagles WR Maclin moves past cancer scare
Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who still hasn't practiced yet, was cleared to return to the team after a cancer scare, trainer Rick Burkholder said Wednesday.
Burkholder said, barring a setback, Maclin will return to practice within 10 days and should be able to play in the Sept. 11 opener at St. Louis.
Burkholder said Maclin began experiencing symptoms - night sweats, fever, loss of weight, loss of appetite - in March, synonymous with lymphoma, a form of cancer. But a five-month battery of tests taken in both Philadelphia and St. Louis came back inconclusive, and not until Wednesday, was Maclin finally cleared of all serious conditions.
Rams sign Reynolds: Just three days after he was cut by the Seattle Seahawks, former Montana star running back Chase Reynolds signed a free agent deal with the St. Louis Rams.
New home for Maybin:
Aaron Maybin, the former Buffalo Bills first-round pick, agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Jets.
The once-promising linebacker was waived by Buffalo on Monday after two disappointing seasons in which he had no sacks and never made it into the starting lineup. The Jets will give Maybin the opportunity to fulfill the potential he showed when the Bills made him the 11th overall pick in 2009 out of Penn State.
Suh fined: Ndamukong Suh was fined $20,000 by the NFL for a hit on Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton, the third penalty of its kind for the Detroit Lions defensive end in the past year.
Suh didn't like it much: He responded on his Twitter account before practice: "$20,000REALLY???!!!"
The reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year grabbed the Bengals quarterback and threw Dalton to the turf late in the first quarter of Friday's preseason game.
