Jeremy Maclin and the Philadelphia Eagles played the Indianapolis Colts in their 2nd preseason game just a few days ago. The Eagles lost the game – but that doesn’t really matter in the preseason. What matters is getting the players reps and conditioning them for the regular season.

Maclin had 4 receptions for 26 yards. He also returned 3 kicks for 26 yards and 2 punts for 4 yards. Hardly the numbers he put up in Missouri, but still respectable as he learns the pro game. Remember, he missed a lot of practice from his contract holdout. Where Maclin disappointed in the game was when he dropped a third down pass that hit him right in the hands and fumbled on a kick return for the second week in a row.

Look for Maclin to continue to see a lot of special teams action in the final two preseason games. I really think that’s where Jeremy will make his mark in 2009.
