Jeremy Maclin: Calling it a career
Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) announced Sunday that he is retiring from the NFL.Forced to sit out the entire 2018 campaign following surgery on his hamstring, Maclin will officially call it a career. He was never the same after posting back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2014 and 2015, with injuries playing a big role in his decline. The 30-year-old wide receiver caught 514 passes for 6,835 yards and 49 touchdowns in 114 NFL games, playing five seasons for the Eagles, two for the Chiefs and one for the Ravens.

Jeremy Maclin: Sets sights on 2019
Jeremy Maclin is set to undergo a procedure on a hamstring/glute injury, which will keep him sidelined for the rest of the 2018 season, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.The injury was holding Maclin back from working out with teams. He was reportedly a top target for many teams looking to beef up their wide receiver depth. The 30-year-old underwhelmed during his lone stint with the Ravens last season, as he caught 40 passes in 12 games for a career-low 11.0 yards per reception. He will now set his sights on a return in 2019.

Jeremy Maclin: Nearly back to full health
Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) is nearing full health and expected to visit and work out for prospective teams soon, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.The 30-year-old attracted limited interest shortly after being released by the Ravens in March, then saw his chances of finding a new home prior to the season diminish entirely after tweaking his hamstring while training. While the worst of the injury seems to be behind Maclin at this point, it's uncertain he has much to offer teams as a depth receiver now that he's clearly on the downside of his career and is no longer a threat in the return game. The wideout largely underwhelmed during his lone season in Baltimore, hauling in 40 passes in 12 games for a career-low 11.0 yards per reception.

Jeremy Maclin: Plans to play in 2018
Jeremy Maclin, who tweaked his hamstring while training for the upcoming season, is still a couple of weeks away from being 100 percent healthy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The injury helps explain why Maclin has remained unsigned since being released by the Ravens in March. According to Schefter, the veteran wideout received offers from team prior to training camp, but Maclin is apparently waiting for the right situation to arise before putting pen to paper. With the regular season about to get underway, injuries will inevitably create a need for teams at receiver, with Maclin representing one of the more accomplished options out there on the open market.

Jeremy Maclin: Remains free agent
Jeremy Maclin is still fielding his market and remains an unrestricted free agent, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.Maclin was released by the Ravens in March after a relatively unsuccessful one-year stint with the team. He's known to have drawn preliminary interest from both the Eagles and Cowboys, but both teams have already signed a high-profile receiver or two since free agency opened last month. However, Maclin isn't believed to have any geographical limitations on the team he might sign with and is simply waiting for the right fit. In all likelihood, the 2014 Pro-Bowler will wait until after the upcoming draft to put pen to paper with any organization that might have interest.

Jeremy Maclin: Released by Baltimore
The Ravens informed Jeremy Maclin of his release from the team Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Maclin's lone season in Baltimore was marred by a combination of injuries and inefficiency, with the 29-year-old catching 40 of 72 targets for 440 yards (6.1 yards per target) and three touchdowns in 12 games. Given that he wasn't much better the previous year in Kansas City, the Ravens were always expected to cut him before March 16, when his $1 million roster bonus was set to kick in. Maclin's fate was cemented once the team reached agreements with free-agent wideouts Ryan Grant and John Brown, though Baltimore could still use more help at the position. Maclin should draw interest from multiple teams, though likely only as a complementary option at this stage of his career. A bounce back isn't out of the question if he lands in the right place and can actually stay healthy.

Ravens' Jeremy Maclin: Could be cap casualty in offseason
Jeremy Maclin (knee) could be released in the offseason as the Baltimore Ravens aim to clear up cap space, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.In addition to missing missing four games due to injury, Maclin struggled to career-low marks in receptions (40) and receiving yards (440) during his first season in Baltimore, with his lack of productivity proving problematic for an already weak passing attack. Maclin carries a $7.5 million cap hit for the 2018 season and is due a $1 million roster bonus March 16, so expect the Ravens to render a decision on his future with the organization by that date. By releasing Maclin, the Ravens would gain $5 million in cap space and afford the front office some more flexibility during the offseason.

Ravens' Jeremy Maclin: Not suiting up, as expected
Jeremy Maclin (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Bengals.Maclin did not see the practice field all week for the Baltimore Ravens, leading to a doubtful tag for the regular-season finale. Should Baltimore lock down a playoff spot, Maclin could return for the wild-card round, but Ravens supporters will want to monitor his status during the week of practice. In the meantime, look for Chris Moore and Michael Campanaro to share extra snaps in Maclin's stead, with Mike Wallace still the top pass-catching option.

Ravens' Jeremy Maclin: Doubtful for Week 17
Jeremy Maclin (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals.Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said last week that Maclin likely would sit out Week 16 but then return for the regular-season finale. It now appears the veteran wideout will miss the final two games of the season, but there's a good chance he'll have another shot to make an appearance in the wild-card round of the playoffs. Chris Moore, Breshad Perriman and Michael Campanaro figure to split playing time behind No. 1 receiver Mike Wallace as the Ravens attempt to clinch a postseason berth. Maclin still hasn't returned to practice.
