Owens will make the trip to Nashville tomorrow

Terrell Owens will make the trip to Nashville tomorrow with his teammates, but coach Bill Parcells is not sure if the receiver will play against Tennessee or not.

Owens practiced for the second straight day without a problem with his surgically repaired right hand. He took all the snaps he was asked to do, according to the coach, like he did Thursday.

Why wouldn't Parcells play Owens on Sunday? He said one reason is if Owens had a number of mental errors in practice, and he did not say how the player did with that during practice.

Gut feeling: he plays. Maybe not his full allotment, but he plays. Maybe this is a rouse for the Titans to think Owens is playing and Parcells will surprise them by sitting the receiver. Seems a little far-fetched to think the Titans would be caught off guard by such a move. All teams prepare as if the other team's best players will play, like the Cowboys did two weeks ago with Clinton Portis.
