HOF44 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I think a sprained ankle and the memory of Sean Taylor will probably keep him out. I remember last year he gave up yards running out of bounds to get away from Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins5060 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Here's the full article: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2211321 Receiver Terrell Owens has told the Eagles that his availability for two key NFC East games against the Redskins and Cowboys is in jeopardy because of a sprained ankle he sustained against the Broncos in Denver on Sunday, sources have told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Terrell Owens Wide Receiver Philadelphia Eagles Profile 2005 SEASON STATISTICS Rec Yds TD Avg Long YAC 47 763 6 16.2 91 337 Eagles spokesman Derek Boyko did not clarify Owens' status for this Sunday night's game against the Redskins but acknowledged that the veteran receiver likely would be listed on the injury report that will be submitted today to the league office. Owens informed the Eagles on Monday that his ankle was hurting so badly that he doubts he can play against the Redskins and feels uncertain about his status for the Nov. 14 game against the Cowboys on ABC's Monday Night Football. The Eagles were unsure about which play Owens hurt his ankle in Sunday's 49-21 loss to the Broncos. Boyko confirmed it was on the same right leg he broke a year ago when he was tackled by Cowboys safety Roy Williams on Dec. 19, 2004. Owens missed the remainder of the regular season as the Eagles defeated the Cowboys 49-21 en route to Super Bowl XXXIX. Owens returned to play in that game, catching nine passes for 122 yards in the Eagles' 24-21 loss to the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I think he might just really want out of philly and sees a huge chance to screw the team. Or he could be hurt but whats the fun in that theory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 And here I thought after watching their game with Denver the guy that had broken angles was Champ.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I am afraid of TO no doubt, but id be more excited if Westbrook was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stwasm Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I think a sprained ankle and the memory of Sean Taylor will probably keep him out. I remember last year he gave up yards running out of bounds to get away from Taylor. I also remember a play where Taylor hit him while he was out of bounds and knocked him into a cheerleader. Taylor didn't get flagged for the hit, and, when the cheerleader finally got up, she had canaries flying around her head. As for TO not playing -- I'll believe it when I see it.

TonyH Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I wonder if Owens is really that hurt or if he's just pissed that McNabb(injured) is having trouble getting him the ball. I hope the Redskins trounce the Gulls on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budski Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 He'll play, if nothing but for the decoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Ever51 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I completely agree that he will play. I have seen TO play worse off than this and it wasnt quite as big a game. I do agree with another persons thoughts, that Westbrook being out, would be more helpful. But, truly I think the only way the Redskins are going to be tested emotionally, is if all the Eagles are healthy, and the Redskins beat them. Now that, I want to see... Go SKINS!!!

rigginsfan87 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 TO will start the game, but Sean Taylor won't let him finish. I predict a season ending injury for somebody on the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Diehard Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I think he may sit this one out. Remember all his yapping about risking his career in the SB last year and not being rewarded. I wouldn't be suprised if he sat this one out to prove a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidenreich Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 This little tidbit was from the chat as well: Aaron (Charlotte, NC): Is the T.O. situation similar to the John Abraham situation last year in the playoffs? Is he scared of injuring his ankle worse followed by the Eagles cutting him to avoid his huge bonus and he becomes a free agent with a bum ankle? Chris Mortensen: (11:21 AM ET ) You said that. I didn't. (wink). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 The absence of Owens could force the Eagles to run the ball more with Westbrook, and considering the state and injury status of our defensive line currently, I am not sure that this is a good thing. However, I expect T.O. to play this sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
