The Eagles have lost CB/KR Ellis Hobbs for the year due to a back injury.  Hobbs played in 8 games this season for the Eagles and he returned 20 kickoffs for 481 yards (24.1 avg).  He also had 11 tackles this season for the Eagles.  The Eagles will try to replace Hobbs on kickoff returns with rookie WR Jeremy Maclin.  Maclin has returned 2 kickoffs for 35 yards (17.5 avg) so far this season.  Maclin has also caught 25 passes for 337 yards (13.5 avg) with 3 TD grabs this season.  Maclin should do a good job for the Eagles in his new role returning kicks.
