I wish the "n" in "fined" was replaced by an "r"...

I wish the "n" in "fined" was replaced by an "r"...

It may be within the first month of the season, but if it works out.....best wide receiver in the game.

Parcells is starting to throw his weight around.  He made a comment today that TO is always late for rehabs and team meetings.  His quote to the reporter was, "if you were late 100 times, wouldn't you be fired?"

He's going to be a cancer in that locker room.

i was all behind this but TO has screwed up and parcells will not let him see substantial playing time without practicing

if he misses anymore meetings or rehab sessions i would be disappointed if cowboys dont cut him

[Herman_Momart]

Anyone hear if there is any truth in the Cowboys looking to cut him and pick up Deion Branch?  Or is that just rumors?

TO got religion just in time

Owens makes return to practice field

IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Terrell Owens practiced Tuesday for the first time in 10 days, an indication he's getting over his hamstring injury and is heading toward his debut with the Dallas Cowboys.

Next question: Will it be in the preseason finale Thursday night at home against Minnesota? Or the season opener a week from Sunday at Jacksonville?

Considering the safe-not-sorry approach everyone involved has been preaching, Owens is almost certainly going to be held out until the opener.

However, he has so much catching up to do that there's a chance he could be used for a series or two in the preseason finale, especially if he decides he wants to try.

Neither Owens nor coach Bill Parcells were available for comment after a team spokesman announced that Owens participated in an afternoon workout that was closed to reporters. Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, also did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

Owens said Monday that he was feeling better every day and expected to be ready for the opener.

"I think I can get myself in good enough shape to play in a game," he said. "I know what I need to do. Obviously, timing is an issue, trying to get in there with the offense, trying to get in the flow. Once I get back on the field and start to break a sweat and kind of get in a rhythm, then I'll be fine."

Owens hasn't played in an NFL game since Oct. 30. The Philadelphia Eagles banished him a few days later.

His high-profile beginning with the Cowboys was off to a smooth start until he hurt his left hamstring the first week of training camp. He missed 14 straight workouts, then practiced five times until aggravating the injury the morning of Aug. 19.

Owens later blamed the team for using him too much after he returned. Team owner Jerry Jones said Monday that mistake wouldn't be made again.

"Certainly if we had it to do over again and we were back at (training camp), we probably wouldn't go with as many reps," Jones said. "But that is hindsight. We will take that into account when he does get back out here."

Perhaps the best reason to expect that T.O. will be a no-go Thursday night were these comments from Jones: "The best thing that can happen for me over the next 10 days would be for him to get some work in and get comfortable with where he is with his hamstring. He obviously should go out there and run as though he didn't have any type of injury. If he will just go out and get some reps and do some work, all of that will take care of itself."

Two MRIs have shown no severe damage to Owens' hamstring, but trainers -- both from the team and specialists on Owens' payroll -- have worked to alleviate pain in the soft tissue.

"Like I said since I've come back from reaggravating it, I'm going to take it day to day," Owens said Monday. "I'll be closer to 100 percent before I get back on the field."

The Cowboys are 3-0 this preseason without Owens. Fellow receiver Terry Glenn has repeatedly making big plays, showing a connection with quarterback Drew Bledsoe forged over their years together in Dallas and New England. Bledsoe was hoping to build a similar relationship with Owens on the practice field and in preseason games.

Owens and Parcells also haven't built much of a relationship. The two have hardly talked, with Parcells saying Monday they had nothing to discuss until Owens returns to practice.

Among the things they could've talked about: Owens getting fined $9,500 for being late to work Friday; T.O. told reporters he overslept.

"I think once I'm able to practice, then everything will take care of itself," Owens said. "It's unfortunate that I'm hurt. I don't want to be hurt. ... I'm just taking this time to really just rehab every day and get as healthy as I can. That's about all I can do."

Owens also said he doesn't care if he starts the opener. He just wants to finish it.

"I don't get any bonuses or extra pats on the back for starting," he said. "My value is when I'm on the field and I can make plays."

I do not know why any team in the NFL would want such a cancer in their locker room.  All this guy does is split a team up. I think Parcells will have his hand forced by the owner and you will see TO play no matter what.
