Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Jeremy Maclin (hip), and Riley Cooper (collarbone) all missed Thursday practice in preparation for their week 2 game against the Ravens. The Eagles struggled to score 17 points against the Browns in week 1 and could have a very tough time scoring against the Baltimore Ravens, especially if they are without their top two receivers. Cooper is already listed as doubtful and the longer that Jackson and Maclin are unable to practice, the more likely that one or both could be out or limited on Sunday.

UPDATE: “I think we’ll be OK there,” said Andy Reid. “They’re both doing a lot better.”
Fantasy Analysis: It's a scary thought that Michael Vick could be without his top two receivers against the Ravens defense as he already threw 4 interceptions in the first game with them. Now he's facing a tough Ravens defense that could stack the box against LeSean McCoy if the passing game goes nowhere. All Eagles players are a little downgraded this week but it gets much worse if Jackson and Maclin are out.
