When you look at Jeremy Maclin’s stat line from Saturday’s game against Illinois it might look disheartening (4 receptions for only 31 yards). However, Jeremy did not play a full game. Missouri fans got a scare in the 4th quarter when Maclin was carted off the field. School spokesman Chad Moller said today an MRI exam revealed a slight injury to the tendon in the ankle. In fact, Maclin may even play this weekend.

This is not that start we wanted for Jeremy Maclin (who missed all of the 2006 season with a knee injury), but no one can predict injuries and they can happen to everyone. Missouri did end up winning the game though, 52-42, so that’s a good thing.

Jeremy is going to attempt to practice this afternoon, so we’ll keep you posted on his status.
