good news out of joint practices with the pats is that Maclin has been "toasting" Revis on the reg
Bad news is that Maclin is hurt on the reg
I was defending this dude too last week in here about him being more valuable than DeSean
In my defense, I did say a *healthy* Maclin is better than DeSean. Hopefully it is just precautionary, but with each report of some kind of injury, even if it's minor, I don't know how much I can defend him.

The Eagles and Patriots are practicing with each other this week, a setting that offers wide receiver
Jeremy Maclin to try out his knee against cornerback
Darrelle Revis.
That test seemed to go well for Maclin. Jeff McLane of the
Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Maclin
drew three holding penalties on Revis during Tuesday’s practice and added that Maclin continued “
to toast” Revis during Wednesday’s session. Even with the caveat that Revis is not be giving every ounce of himself during the workouts, that’s a positive sign for a player coming off a serious injury.
Less positive is the fact that Maclin pulled himself out of practice early on Wednesday. He said after the session was over that it was
a left hamstring tweakthat caused him to sit out the remainder of practice, but that he still hopes to play in Friday’s preseason game. McLane also reports that Maclin was icing his right knee, the same one with the torn ACL, although that appears to be a precautionary measure.
If he does play this week, he’ll likely get a chance to face a more spirited Revis and another measurement of how far he’s come in his recovery.
But i aint really tripping tho.
