IRVING, Texas - Here are the highlights of Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells' news conference Wednesday from Valley Ranch:
While the Cowboys have made no official move with third quarterback Drew Henson, Parcells did announce Henson will not be on the team's 53-man roster this year.
The Cowboys traded linebacker Scott Shanle to the New Orleans Saints for an undisclosed late-round draft choice, likely a seventh.
Wide receiver Terrell Owens will not practice Wednesday afternoon, and it appears he once again is day-to-day. At this point, actually playing in Saturday's preseason game against San Francisco looks doubtful.
Wide receiver Patrick Crayton, who hasn't practiced since suffering a high ankle sprain against Seattle, is out of the walking boot and is expected to begin doing on-field rehab work with the trainers Wednesday.
The Cowboys released 2004 third-round pick Stephen Peterman, who basically has been beaten out by second-year guard Cory Procter.
The Cowboys also released rookie free-agent corner Cory Butler, free-agent tight end Erik Jensen and rookie free-agent linebacker John Saldi.
Flozell Adams suffered a strained left calf muscle in Monday night's game and was not expected to practice Wednesday, leaving his status iffy for Saturday's game.
Kicker Mike Vanderjagt still is bothered by his strained groin and is unsure if he will kick Saturday night, a situation Parcells said is starting to bother him as he contemplates the final 53-man roster.
