Eagles place Maclin on season-ending IR

PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles have placed wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on season-ending injured reserve on Tuesday just three days after the fifth-year receiver suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during practice.

To replace Maclin on the 90-man roster Philadelphia re-signed WR Nick Miller.

In 15 games last season, the 25-year-old Maclin caught 69 passes for 857 yards and seven touchdowns.
He is entering the final season of the five-year contract he signed in 2009, when Philadelphia took the former Missouri standout with the 19th overall pick of the NFL Draft.

Riley Cooper has been taking first-team reps in Maclin's absence.
