T.O. Has Plate Screwed Into Broken Finger
IRVING (AP) ―
Dallas Cowboy Terrell Owens had a plate screwed into his broken right ring finger during an operation Monday evening.
His recovery time is estimated at two to four weeks, but he's likely to do all he can to rejoin the Cowboys for his much-anticipated return to Philadelphia.
The Cowboys have a bye Sunday, then play at Tennessee before the game against the Eagles on October 8th.
Owens says the injury was a "fluke thing" that happened while blocking during one of the first few plays last night as Dallas beat Washington 27-to-10.
Owens caught three passes for 19 yards, all in the first quarter, but also had several drops, including one in the end zone, and two penalties.
