Maclin out with torn plantar fascia

Eagles rookie wide receiver Jeremy Maclin will miss next week's game with San Francisco after tearing plantar fascia tissue in his left foot.

Eagles head coach Andy Reid addressed the injury at his Monday press conference and labeled the situation week-to-week, intimating a definite possibility of Maclin being out longer.

Maclin could be seen leaving Giants Stadium on crutches following Sunday night's 45-38 win over New York. He suffered the tear during the first half and had entered the game already dealing with the plantar fasciitis condition itself -- essentially a painful inflammation along the arch of the foot.

The Eagles' first-round draft pick this year, Maclin has 46 catches for 623 yards and four touchdowns.
