During the Philadelphia Eagles’ preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, there was a scary moment involving wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. The young receiver missed all of 2013 with a torn ACL in his right knee, and against the Steelers Thursday night he went down with an injury and clutched his right knee.

He was able to get up and walk off under his own power, and it looked like he just hyper extended his knee. The injury doesn’t appear to be too severe though, he returned to play shortly after the incident.

He only missed one play as well.

Apparently Maclin has a little soccer player in him when it comes to reacting to injuries.
