Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin said Wednesday he is healthy and has been cleared to play after being tested for cancer.
Maclin told FoxSports.com he was tested for lymphoma and had a lymph node removed for examination before it was discovered he was actually suffering from an inflammatory virus that has since left his body.
His mysterious absence from the Eagles' training camp had sparked speculation he was suffering from an array of diseases.
"I was tested for everything and every single test came back negative," Maclin told the Web site. "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."
The receiver said he will return to practice once he recovers from the surgery to remove the lymph node.
