Two more guys to get now

1. Jeremy Maclin (WR, Phi) - Our Adam Caplan is at practice, and he says Kevin Curtis looks bad.

Anthony Gonzalez/Felix Jones - Like with what I said last year about Sidney Rice, the recovery for these injuries is completely variable.  Some athletes start feeling "right" within a few weeks,and others take a very long time to get their proprioception (or position sense) back to normal.  If I had to guess, I would say that Gonzalez would be ...
