Maclin cleared to play football!

The waiting is finally over. Philadelphia Eagles fans have been wanting to know what’s wrong with Jeremy Maclin for months now. He wasn’t cleared to practice and no one could say what was wrong with him. Rumors circulated of mono, bone cancer…you name it.

But, now Maclin has broken his silence and told Foxsports.com that he’s healthy and has been cleared to begin playing football again.

“That’s first and foremost, I want everyone to know I’m fine, I’m healthy,” Maclin said. “I was tested for everything and every single test came back negative. I don’t have mono, I don’t have AIDS, leukemia, all the things people were guessing on, there was nothing. I was being tested for lymphoma and thank GOD everything has come back negative.

“I wanted my privacy on this until I had answers. I don’t like to talk unless I have all the answers about what I’m talking about. It was frustrating to hear all the rumors about me. It wasn’t until this morning that I finally got my final answer and thankfully I’m healthy and ready to return to football.”

Maclin has gone through quite a painful five-month process. He’s been plugged and stuck with tons of needles so they could do more and more testing on this mysterious illness. There probably aren’t many people happier than Maclin right now. Not only does he get to return to football, he’s not in any immediate threat of dying.

So what the hell was wrong with him?

“It was all caused by an inflammatory virus, something that just runs its course through your body or you can treat with medicine,” he said. “I didn’t need medicine. It’s just something I had to deal with.”
