Maclin's injury originally looked pretty serious because he was down on the field for a long time and he was crying after he got up. Thankfully for his sake that's not the case. Better yet, he might even have a chance to play against the New England Patriots this week.

On-field exam for Jeremy Maclin appeared to show an ACL tear. Thus, the tears. MRI showed it was intact. There's actually a chance he plays.
