Terry Glenn Making Progress

Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn still has a long road ahead before he's able to return to practice following Sept. 13 arthroscopic knee surgery, but he has begun running outdoors - a positive step toward his goal of potentially returning this season.

Wednesday marked Glenn's third day doing some running exercises outdoors. He has yet to practice or play in a game this season, and would seem a long shot to return for next Thursday's game against Green Bay, considering he's still not ready to practice.

Glenn decided against season-ending microfracture surgery to repair the damaged cartilage and opted for the knee scope, a short-term solution which doesn't guarantee a full recovery. The microfracture procedure still might be necessary down the road.
