Fifteen days ago, Bills receiver Terrell Owens injured his toe during limited work at the Hall of Fame game.
Owen returned to practice last Monday. Though coach Dick Jauron refused to call it a setback, T.O. had a setback.
A week later, Owens still isn't practicing.
"He says it feels a lot better," Bills coach Dick Jauron said Monday in comments circulated by the team. "We won't bring him back onto the field though until we feel like it's all the way back to where it was. It doesn't make any sense for us to do that. So it's critical that he does get back as soon as he can to get the timing and get his reps in and get his work done."
Asked whether it's important to get Owens on the field for the next-to-last preseason game, the traditional dress rehearsal for the regular-season opener, Jauron said, "I can't say that it's critically important. I can't say that. We just need to get him back as soon as he's healthy enough to get back on the field. Clearly he knows how to play in the National Football League, but everybody needs their timing and work on the field to work with the quarterbacks particularly, so we'll get him back as quickly as we can."
Owens' extended absence has tempered some of the enthusiasm surrounding the Bills, but that will all be forgotten if he's in the starting lineup for Week One -- and if he's able to stay there.
Still no sign of T.O.

Florio, clearly he wants to skip as much practice as he possibly can. You knock Favre all day long for the same thing.
BS injury on TO,
WRITTEN BY A BS sportswriter.
This is just the d-bag's way of avoiding the late August practices without causing a sh*tstorm .
Give him a break, it's a pre-existing injury.
He had to carry the Cowboys WR corps for the past few years, that's a lot of stress on the feet!
TO does what he wants when he wants. Jauron had to know this going in. I would think you know that, too, Mike.
T.O.E.
Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go T.O.zilla
Oh no, there goes Buffalo
Go go T.O.zilla
No sign of TO? Did anyone check the hot tub?
"Still no sign of T.O."
Kramer has it in a cup of ice on the bus.
You gets what you pay for
I thought the Gov just had a program Cash for Clunkers
Danlinker the douchebag.
I spotted him on VH1 with some fine honeys.
Why should T.O. practice it could not improve on how great he is. Just ask him?

T.O. last year
1052 yds 10 TDs
Giants starting WRs Dominick Hixon and Steve Smith COMBINED
1150 receiving yards 3TDs
Look around before you start throwing stones.
Revelations! Questionable work ethic!
TO is probably out looking for the 3 people who watched his show.
it is hard not to laugh at the bills for this.... they did it to themselves by signing this prima donna.
i predict at the end of the season, Scott Norwood will ring fonder memories in the hearts of Bills fans than Terrell Owens.
TO IS ALREADY SICK OF THE BUFFALO BILLS !!!! HE`S NOT JUST SKIPPING PRACTICE BUT MAYBE TRYING TO SKIP TIME!!!! "I MISS MY QB TONY ROMO :( "
no sign of she-ho...
doggone it has been peaceful.
@venis2k1:
Speaking of looking around before throwing stones - the 2008 Giants had TWO 1,000 yard rushers on their team. Below are some stats of the two leading receivers on the five teams in NFL history which had two rushers surpass 1,000 yards in a season:
08 Giants (Domenik Hixon & Steve White)
1170 yards, 3 TDs
06 Falcons (Michael Jenkins & Roddy White)
942 yards, 7 TDs
85 Browns (Brian Brennan & Clarence Weathers)
936 yards, 3 TDs
76 Steelers (Frank Lewis & Lynn Swann)
822 yards, 4 TDs
72 Dolphins (Howard Twilley & Paul Warfield)
970 yards, 6 TDs
Let's also consider that Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress combined for 1034 yards and 8 TDs, action which would have been seen by other players had those two not been the starters at the beginning of the '08 season.
Finally, let's consider that the Cowboys leading WRs after T.O. (Patrick Crayton & Row Williams) combined for 748 yards and 5 TDs and NONE of their RBs ran for 1,000+ yards.
So, venis2k1, please just STFU.

You racist BASTARDS!!! The greatest in every sport that you watch is an Afro-American...football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis!!! If it weren't for them, the sport wouldn't be as exciting as it is! T.O.zilla??? You must have gotten jealous when you saw that pretty lil' white girl with him on his show..."The T.O. Show". Don't hate because you have a redneck, trailer-trash, no teeth in her mouth, obese, dirty a** white woman at home!!! You're a true HATER!!! You all made T.O. the way he is! He can be an a**, but the racist remark was not even necessary!!! It's 2009...Buffalo has T.O. and 'OUR' President is BLACK! Deal with it you racist prick!!!
