Becoming free agent again, WR Owens becomes friends with QB McNabb

It had been known for years that there are feuds between wide receiver Terrell Owens and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. But recently Owens, becoming an unrestricted free agent this offseason, said that he is friends with McNabb now.

"I can honestly say I appreciate those years and Donovan and I are friends and, actually we were just hanging out last night as a matter of fact," McNabb said. "So it was one of those things where, again, it started off well, it didn’t end well. Sometimes, I wish it could have ended on a positive note."

During the two seasons Owen played in Eagles jerseys, he was unhappy with his contract, with management, coaches and former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas and eventually chose to leave the City of Brotherly Love. Well, after three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and one uneventful, unproductive season with the Buffalo Bills, he becomes a free agent again and need to get along well with any possible chance to a new deal. Possibly he could be an Eagle again, and then good terms with the team’s star quarterback are absolutely necessary.

Bills still expect Owens to start at WR

The Buffalo Bills NO.1 wide receiver Terrell Owens missed second straight practice Thursday with his strained hip, but the Bills Coach Dick Jauron has not given up the hope that Owens could still play against the Tennessee Titans.

After Thursday’s practice, Jauron told reporters that the receiver is “still struggling” with the injury, which flared up during the team’s day off on Tuesday. He admitted that Owens was feeling better but still not good enough to be on the field. And the receiver was seen walk into the locker room without limp. But he was not in practice Browns jersey nor taking part in any part of workouts. Hopefully he will not disappoint the Bills.

What is more hopeful is that the Bills will have starting defensive end Aaron Schobel back and play on Sunday as he was able to work out on his own for the first time since he got groin injury in the 31-10 loss to the Houston Texans on Nov. 1.

Bills WR Owens in good health status and will probably play next week

On Thursday, the Buffalo Bills were glad to see their wide receiver Terrell Owens in progress. During the practice, Owens took part in work out and caught passes in individuals’ drills.

Coach Dick Jauron was encouraged and began to believe that the receiver would be cleared to start practicing fully next week. Since Owens jammed his foot in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 9, he had not played much and from Tuesday to Thursday it was the most time he had practiced after being injured.

Owens has been ruled out by Jauron from playing in the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, together with running back Fred Jackson who had missed practices with a sprained wrist.

T.O. thinks it unreasonable for Chargers to fine players for tweet

Bills Terrell Owens defended the San Diego cornerback Antonio Cromartie on Friday, saying that it was ridiculous to fine a player for criticizing the food service at training camp on Twitter.

While Chargers coach Norv Turner said that players should not criticize the Chargers’ organization in tweets, Owens thought that it was no harm for a player to say his honest opinion about the cafeteria food.

“What’s wrong with that?” he said. “It’s no different than saying practice is too hard.”

As Bills coach Dick Jauron and team officials also told their players to be careful with their tweet, Owens was asked about cuisine at Bills training camp, too. He grinned and said that cafeteria food at Bills training camp was the best selection he has been around.
