T.O. Watch: Owens might miss scrimmage

By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News

Terrell Owens missed his second straight day of practice, and his availability for today's scrimmage is in doubt. Owens said he's day-to-day, and coach Bill Parcells doesn't believe it is that big of a deal.

"I think he's up on the offense pretty well, but [it is] just getting ready to go, getting ready to play," Parcells said. "He's like any other player. He needs the work, needs the timing, needs the competition. You need all of that. Hopefully, we will get him back soon and he will get going."

Owens spent his time during practice working on the bike and doing crunches and other resistance training. He tutored rookie free agent receiver Sam Hurd for the second straight day.
