    Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who still hasn't practiced yet, has been deemed healthy and cleared to start returning to football activities following a cancer scare, trainer Rick Burkholder said Wednesday.

    Burkholder said, barring a setback, Maclin will return to practice within 10 days and should be able to play in the Sept. 11 opener at St. Louis.

    Burkholder said Maclin began experiencing symptoms -- night sweats, fever, loss of weight, loss of appetite -- in March, synonymous with lymphoma, a form of cancer. But a five-month battery of tests taken in both Philadelphia and St. Louis came back inconclusive, and not until Wednesday, was Maclin finally cleared of all serious conditions.
