The recovery of Terrell Owens' left ankle is picking up speed. The Cowboys wide receiver, who missed the final regular-season game with a high-ankle sprain, participated in a walkthrough Monday afternoon at Valley Ranch and looks like he'll be ready to play in Sunday's NFC divisional round game against the Giants.

go TO. Cowboys need to jump out to an early lead. Hopefully Glenn can provide some help.

Tough call. You want to have him for the Giants, but it's all for not if he get injured further in that game and they get smoked anyway (either in that game or the next).

January 8, 2008  07:30 AM ET

They shoulodn't need him much, truth be told. With the D-Line the Jints have, Romo won't have too many opportunities to fire the long bomb, he just won't have enough time, so it'll likely be short cross routes and passes to the TE that win the game for them. I see Owens as being more of a decoy in the game, to spread the defence out a bit, than actually a huge threat. Watch out for him next game though

The Cowboys will do just fine and TO will play. He won't get hurt further. He will play and the Cowboys will win. It will be close because Manning always does good against the Cowboys, but I think the Cowboys are ready to put alot of points on the board.

Damn - Giants fans everywhere just grimaced. This damn guy heals too quickly.

January 8, 2008  08:12 AM ET

Cowboys will win and the giants will find a way to lose.

January 8, 2008  08:15 AM ET

Tough to win 3 in a row drj.

January 8, 2008  08:15 AM ET

Pretty good chance he'll be good to go Sunday. It'll be sweet to see him and Glenn on the field at the same time.

January 8, 2008  08:17 AM ET

You mean unlike the last two times that Romo smoked them for short and long passes and scored 76 points? Yeah, Canada, what a dominating D-line. Oh, by the way, T.O. had 4 touchdowns in those first two games.

T.O. will play because that's what professionals do. This is the playoffs, darnit. There ain't saving him for later.

T.O. came back from a broken leg in 6 weeks. Now, I know he won't be 100%, but just having him out then field will be good. And then if Glenn can get some snaps that would be gretat too. With T.O.,Glenn, Crayton, Witten, and Barber in the backfield at the same time, that's alot to ask a team to cover.

I hope he plays on Sunday watching the cowboys without him is a painful experience.

January 8, 2008  09:52 AM ET

T.O., Glenn, Barber, Romo, Whitten, Crayton, Fasano, Hurd, Austin, J.Jones!
Any Questions?

Why have they played so poorly in December?

January 8, 2008  10:02 AM ET

It doesn't matter if he plays or not, the Cowboys will still win with or without him.

January 8, 2008  10:14 AM ET

Good question boston_rob. But, as they say, it's history isn't it? All that matters is the upcoming show in Dallas.

I thought history was all important to the Cowboy Homers..all of sudden you would like to just throw it out? Interesting...
