Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin was carted off the field Saturday with a right knee injury.
Maclin tore his ACL, a league source told ESPN NFL contributor Adam Caplan.
According to multiple reports, the injury occurred during 7 on 7 drills. In the early part of camp, players are still practicing in no-contact drills without pads.
Maclin stayed on the ground for several minutes while the club's medical staff attended to his lower leg. After getting to his feet, Maclin had to be helped to a motorized cart.
The team says Maclin is still being evaluated.
The oft-injured Maclin, entering the final season of his five-year rookie contract, has played an entire season just once in his career.
After catching a career-high 10 touchdown passes in 2010, Maclin has combined for just 12 scores over his last two campaigns. He had 69 receptions for 857 yards and seven TDs last season.
The Eagles are in the first training camp under new coach Chip Kelly, who is installing a fast-paced offense.
