Eagle's ankle injury on the same leg he broke last year

By Chris Mortensen
ESPN

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.

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.

Reid denies report that Owens may miss 2 games

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Eagles coach Andy Reid today refuted an ESPN report that wide receiver Terrell Owens told the team that his status for the next two games would be in jeopardy because of a sprained ankle.

"I hadn't heard that," Reid said during his news conference today at the Nova Care Complex. "I don't worry about that. It's a day to day thing, that's the way he is approaching it and we'll see how it goes. As far as I know, from T.O and my trainers, that is what it is."

Owens was listed by Reid as doubtful for Sunday's game at Fed Ex Field against the Washington Redskins.

"He is hurting and sore," Reid said. "It's going to be a fight to get him there Sunday."

Owens has caught 47 passes for 763 yards and six touchdowns this season. He was among a number of players who are battling injuries.

Punter Dirk Johnson is out for the season after Reid announced he has been put on the injured reserve list with a groin injury. He was replaced by rookie Reggie Hodges, who appeared in five games this season for the St. Louis Rams.

Hodges averaged 38 yards on 22 punts after being selected in the sixth round from Ball State.

Also on the injury front, defensive end Jevon Kearse didn't practice Wednesday because of a shoulder sprain and is listed as day to day and is questionable for this week, according to Reid.

Quarterback Donovan McNabb didn't practice due to a rib contusion.

He is listed as day to day. Reid said that McNabb is probable.

McNabb indicated that he would be in the lineup. When asked if he was close to not playing, McNabb said, "No. I love this game too much."

McNabb said he suffered the injury after getting hit and falling on the heel of guard Shawn Andrews.

"It's sore, but I look forward to getting better each day." McNabb said.
