I still say no. He would provide no help to the passing game.

T-New's heel might nag all season. Wade says Stanback is not ready.
Should Cowboys dial Drummond's number?
Todd Archer reports that Terence Newman has been diagnosed with a case of plantar fasciitis, which is fancy doctor talk for severe pain in the heel. It's likely that the condition will nag Newman all season.
Safe to say the odds of Newman returning punts on a consistent basis have significantly decreased. Patrick Crayton didn't exactly inspire confidence in his ability to handle that role with his performance against the Broncos. Wade Phillips has said he doesn't see Isaiah Stanback as a punt returner. Maybe this is the crack that allows Jerheme Urban to get his foot in the 53-man roster door at Miles Austin's expense.
Or maybe the Cowboys ought to consider signing Eddie Drummond, the return specialist cut by the Lions yesterday. Drummond averaged 10.6 yards on punt returns last season. He has returned four punts and two kickoffs for TDs in his five-year career.
The problem with Drummond is that he can't do anything but return punts and kicks. He can't play receiver. I asked somebody in the know about him and got an emphatic no as a response.

I used to have this thing in my heel, and it still flares up know and then, but it KILLS. My whole leg would tense up and I could hardly walk on it at times. Hopefully it's not the same thing, but it shouldn't prevent him from missing a lot of games. If it is, then he could miss a lot of plays, but I wouldn't expect him to be benched for weeks at a time because of the injury.

Agreed.
I wouldn't mind taking a look either.
If you couple a potentially good punt returner along with a great punter and consistent FG kicker, we should fare well on Special Teams. And if Drummond is also a solid kick off returner, we can pair him up with TT.
Anyway, I wouldn't mind a free look.
