good news.

we'll see him next week and in pre-season game number 2.

There's still three more practices before Seattle, right? Anyway, without Bledsoe playing there's much less of a need to play Owens.

I can't wait to see Bledsoe and Owens vs the blitz.

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) -- Terrell Owens ran hard, made cuts and came to some quick stops while catching passes Wednesday, but did so during a post-practice session with a fourth-string quarterback, not with the rest of the Dallas Cowboys starters.

Owens capped his workout by hauling in a long pass at the back of the end zone, slowing immediately to make sure he stayed in bounds, then walked to the locker room. He didn't stop to talk to reporters, only saying his sore left hamstring felt "better."

The morning practice was the ninth straight that Owens has missed. An afternoon session also was planned.

Owens has never had a hamstring problem before. An MRI taken Saturday showed no damage, but he's concerned enough to have flown in his own doctors, trainers and an oxygen chamber that speeds recovery. He's also said the injury likely will keep him out of the preseason opener Saturday night in Seattle.

Despite that prognosis, coach Bill Parcells did not include Owens among the players he said wouldn't be suiting up for the game.

"I just don't know for sure," Parcells said. "I haven't talked to him about it."

Later, Parcells said, "I guess it would look like" he isn't going to play because Owens has gone so long without practicing.

During the team's morning practice, Owens stepped up his rehab work, aggressively running forward and backward while being tugged by a resistance band. He also did more stretches and leg lifts than in recent days.

When practice ended, he even jogged from his stationary bicycle to the team huddle, a trek he's almost always made at a more leisurely pace.

Once most players left the field, he jogged to catch some balls from receivers coach Todd Haley. He reached back for a nice one-handed grab and another time sped up to try tracking down an overthrow. He almost always slowed quickly after passes arrived.

Then quarterback Matt Baker took over and Owens stepped up the intensity.

He made another impressive one-handed catch on a slant, took about four stutter steps then cut left on another route and did the same thing going right the next time. Between passes, he did some yoga-like stretches that included making his torso and right leg parallel to the ground, thus forcing all his weight on his left leg.

What did Parcells think of it all?

"Didn't watch that," he said.


^^^ For the lazy people... like me.

I'm thinking TO's hammy will start getting better for 2 reasons:

1) Parcells has announced they're looking for another WR. Since we all know TO wants to be perceived as a team's savior, he's not going to stand for another potentially decent WR to be on the field (other than TG, who's already letting TO get all the attention).

2) Now that the owners have picked a new Commish, Jerruh will be back to stroke TO & give him all the attention he apparently wants & isn't getting from Bill. I'm also thinking Stephen might have a chat with Rosenmouth about how his high-profile client needs to start, you know, actually earning some of that money.

All this stuff reminds me of Deion. Deion hated TC. He practiced maybe 2 full weeks of TC. The last 2 before Week 1.

I tend to think that TO actually did tweak his hammy, and after a week of resting it it probably feels better. Then again, I've been known to hold the Occum's Razor line of thought.

I've played a lot of years of football (finally "retired" this year) and the one injury that occurs in training camp (or two-a-days, whichever) is strained/pulled hamstrings. It happens WAY more then any other injury.


The best way to avoid it is a lot of stretching and drinking A LOT of water.
