Eagles Setting Up Workout With Jeremy Maclin

The Eagles already brought in Jordan Matthews for a workout on Tuesday and it looks like they're not done looking at receivers who know this offense. 

Now, the Eagles are setting up a workout with Jeremy Maclin, a source close to Maclin told NBC Sports Philadelphia's John Clark. 

But the source told Clark the workout might need to be next week because Maclin's leg is hurting. That might help the Eagles in the coming weeks, but it won't help them on Sunday against the Colts. 

Earlier this month, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Maclin has been nursing a hamstring injury. 

Maclin, 30, obviously has familiarity with the Eagles' offense - at least the basics - after his years in Philadelphia and Kansas City. With just three healthy receivers on their roster, the Eagles are clearly in search for a quick fix. 

Last season, Maclin played in 12 games (12 starts) for the Ravens. He caught 40 passes for 440 yards and three touchdowns. He spent the previous two years in Kansas City with Andy Reid. He played just 12 games in 2016 too because of a torn groin. He was cut that June. 

Maclin's best NFL seasons came in 2014 and 2015, his last year in Philly and his first year in Kansas City.

In 2014, Maclin caught 85 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns. That earned him a five-year deal in Kansas City. In his first season there, he caught 87 passes for 1,088 yards and eight touchdowns.
