(Sept. 18, 2006) -- Here's one nugget Terrell Owens can't save for his next book.
At a time when doctors are telling him that he could be out up to four weeks with a broken bone in his right ring finger that he underwent surgery for, Owens already is telling those who know him that he plans to play in the Cowboys' next game, Oct. 1 against the Tennessee Titans.
Fast healer, Owens.
Dallas' bye week comes this weekend, which buys Owens a week to rest and get healthy for the Titans. And should Owens miss that game -- and he's not planning on it -- then there's absolutely, positively, no way the wide receiver misses the next game.
It's Oct. 8. At Philadelphia.
Owens probably already is doubling the number of sit-ups in his driveway for that one.
For now, Owens is more concerned with getting his finger right than the fingers that await him at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
A Dallas trainer told Owens on the sideline of the victory over Washington that the receiver had broken it. It contributed to some of the uncharacteristic drops that Owens had and led to the receiver undergoing surgery at 5:30 Central Time in Dallas on Sept. 18.
Doctors told Owens he would miss two to four weeks. Owens has begun telling friends he won't miss any weeks. Owens thinks he will be back for the Titans. And then it's the headline matchup.
