Parcells scolds media about T.O. injury
Bill Parcells said Tuesday he has no problem with Terrell Owens bringing in his own experts to help repair his ailing hamstring.
The Dallas Cowboys coach does have a problem with all the attention the injury is generating.
With T.O.-related questions again dominating his daily gathering with reporters, Parcells tried getting off the subject by saying: “I’m getting the sense that most of the media is just waiting for something to be controversial in that regard. And I’m here to tell you, it’s not going to happen from me. So you need to get that in your head. OK?â€Â
When the topic was broached again later, Parcells warned not to try interpreting his mood on this subject.
“The situation is the same as I told you the other day,†he said. “We are hopeful we can get the work in and get him into the program and up to speed with what we do as soon as possible. It hasn’t changed. I said it yesterday. I said it today. I said it the first day. It’s not going to change.â€Â
Since taking part in the first eight workouts of training camp, Owens has been on the sidelines for the last eight, including a scrimmage. Plenty more absences are likely since Owens said Monday he doubts that he will play in the preseason opener Saturday night in Seattle.
The pain began last Wednesday. An MRI taken Saturday showed no problems. He’s repeatedly said his status is day-to-day, spending most of each practice slowly riding a stationary bicycle. He declined to comment after practice Tuesday.
