The Facts:
The injury bug threatens to take another bite out of Philadelphia Eagles wider receiver Jeremy Maclin's already up and down season. Andy Reid told reporters that Maclin is dealing with lower back strain and is questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins. Maclin posted eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Week 10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If Maclin is on your fantasy roster then you know first-hand how injuries and the Eagles struggles on offense have made him a less than reliable start for much of the season. We won't get a true read on his availability for Week 11 until the team reports to practice Wednesday and we see how much work he gets (or doesn't get). Maclin was on the receiving end of a 44-yard touchdown pass from Nick Foles early in the third quarter, his third of the year, and first since Week 6. With Foles expected to start versus the Redskins on Sunday, Maclin's latest injury could keep him off the practice field and limit his time to work with the rookie quarterback. Check back for updates on Maclin's condition later in the week.
