The Cowboys say no, but apparently ESPNews reported earlier today that a lingering hamstring problem would keep Terrell Owens out of action for the entire preseason. The fact that ESPN.com hasn’t run the story makes it quite possible that they’ve since backed off their statement, but with news that Owens definitely will miss the Cowboys’ preseason opener Saturday with his sore hammy, this pseudo-news certainly bears watching.

Warning bells should be sounding for fantasy owners (and, of course, Dallas fans) right now, considering T.O. is 32, so any signs of his body breaking down are alarming to say the least. Aside from that, though, if T.O. doesn’t get his reps with Drew Bledsoe in this summer, the two could be out of synch once the season begins. Not a good start to T.O.’s comeback season.
