8/17/2006

8/6/2006

Terrell Owens, dal

An MRI exam Saturday showed no damage to Owens' left hamstring but the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver still missed a third straight day of full practice.

8/5/2006

8/3/2006

Terrell Owens, dal

Owens did not practice with the Dallas Cowboys Thursday because of a sore left hamstring. The Pro Bowl wide receiver spent most of his time slowly riding an exercise bicycle. He stopped pedaling to do a situp drill and another with a medicine ball. In between, he spent several minutes talking to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. The injury doesn't seem to be serious.

8/2/2006

Roy Williams, dal

The Cowboys signed Williams to a four-year contract extension Wednesday, securing the hard-hitting run-stopper through the 2010 season. Financial terms weren't immediately available. He had a year left on his contract and would have become an unrestricted free agent after this season, but the new five-year deal replaces the 2006 year and adds four more.

3/23/2006

Mike Vanderjagt, dal

The Cowboys solidified their kicking situation by signing Vanderjagt to a three-year deal worth about $2 million per season.

3/19/2006

Terrell Owens, dal

Owens has reportedly signed a three-year, $25 million deal with the Dallas Cowboys. The 32-year-old wide receiver played just seven games last season before the Philadelphia Eagles deactivated him for conduct detrimental to the team.

3/18/2006

Terrell Owens, dal

Owens is taking his act to Dallas. The Dallas Morning News has confirmed the Cowboys have agreed in principle to a deal with Owens. After Keyshawn Johnson's release on Tuesday, the Cowboys are ready to bring in another flamboyant receiver. The Eagles released Owens after suspending him for contract detrimental to the team last season.

3/14/2006

Terrell Owens, dal

The Philadelphia Eagles have released Owens. One day before Owens was due a $5 million roster bonus, the Eagles ended his two-year employment by cutting him on Tuesday. Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, received permission in January to seek a trade. Unable to find a suitor in time, the Eagles released him.

Coleman, a perennial starter who had been with the team since its inception, was released by Houston on Tuesday.

1/17/2006

Drew Henson, dal

The Dallas Cowboys have allocated Henson to NFL Europe in hopes of getting him some much-needed experience. The quarterback, who inked an eight-year contract with Dallas after being acquired from the Houston Texans in 2004, spent the 2005 campaign buried on the depth chart behind Drew Bledsoe and Tony Romo.

1/10/2006

Terrell Owens, dal

Agent Drew Rosenhaus has been given permission by the Philadelphia Eagles to seek a trade for Owens, who missed the final nine contests of the 2005 campaign, primarily due to conduct detrimental to the team. The Eagles suspended the troubled receiver for four games before deactivating him for five. He made several comments about the organization and quarterback Donovan McNabb, which eventually led to the penalty.

1/1/2006

Terry Glenn, dal

Glenn was ticketed for public intoxication late Friday, after the Dallas wide receiver was caught urinating behind a fast-foot restaurant. Glenn wasn't jailed, though he was tested for his blood-alcohol level.

12/31/2005

Kevin Burnett, dal

Dallas put rookie Kevin Burnett on injured reserve Friday because of a torn knee ligament. The Cowboys' second-round pick suffered the injury during practice on Thursday. He is expected to be ready by training camp and perhaps even for some of the offseason training program. Burnett had five tackles, one assist and one sack in 13 games this season.

12/27/2005

Julius Jones, dal

Jones finally looked back to full strength after missing a month with a sprained ankle earlier this season, turning in his best performance of the 2005 campaign in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. The Cowboys' running back handled the majority of the rushing load, finishing with 194 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.

12/26/2005

Shaun Suisham, dal

The Dallas Cowboys re-signed Suisham on Monday to replace Billy Cundiff as the team's place kicker. Suisham was cut when the team brought back Cundiff on Nov. 19.

12/24/2005

Marco Rivera, dal

Rivera will not play Saturday against the Carolina Panthers, inactive because of a neck injury suffered during last week's loss to the Redskins.

12/20/2005

Mike Barrow, dal

Barrow, who just signed with the Cowboys a few weeks ago, will be placed on injured reserve by the club in the next couple of days. The linebacker will be forced to undergo surgery after tearing a quadriceps muscle in Sunday's loss to the Washington Redskins. He will miss the rest of the season.

12/19/2005

Terry Glenn, dal

Glenn caught two passes for a season-low 25 yards in a 35-7 loss to the Redskins Sunday, but surpassed 1,000 yards on the season. The Cowboys' wide receiver became the first Dallas player with 1,000 yards receiving since Rocket Ismail in 1999.

Marco Rivera, dal

Rivera landed on his head during a running play and strained his neck in the fourth quarter of a 35-7 loss to the Redskins Sunday. The Cowboys' right guard stayed overnight in the hospital to undergo tests but flew home Monday after those tests and scans were negative.

12/12/2005

Drew Bledsoe, dal

Bledsoe averaged 9.8 yards per completion -- a season high -- and posted a 126.1 passer rating, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a 31-28 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The veteran quarterback finished the game 22 of 34 for 332 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, but was sacked four times.

Terry Glenn, dal

Glenn topped the century mark for the fourth time this season and scored for the second consecutive game, finishing Sunday's win over the Kansas City Chiefs with six catches for 138 yards and a touchdown. The Cowboys' veteran receiver is on pace to notch his first 1,000-yard season since 1999 with the New England Patriots.

12/5/2005

Julius Jones, dal

Jones saw his most extensive work in more than two months in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants. The Cowboys' running back, who missed four weeks with a sprained ankle, appeared fully recovered from the injury, rushing for 74 yards on 23 carries and hauling in a career-high nine passes for 88 yards.

12/2/2005

Mike Vanderjagt, dal

Vanderjagt continues to be bothered by soreness in his calf muscle and groin, but both injuries are considered minor, and he plans to handle the Colts' kicking duties in Sunday's matchup with the Tennessee Titans. As a precautionary measure, the team has held him out of practice the past couple of days -- as has been the case for the past few weeks -- but he was able to work out on Friday. He's listed as probable on the injury report.

12/1/2005

Patrick Crayton, dal

According to Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells, Crayton is expected to return to action in Sunday's matchup with the New York Giants. The second-year receiver, who has been sidelined since Week 6 after undergoing surgery to repair ligament damage in his ankle, practiced with the team on Wednesday and currently is not listed on the injury report.

11/28/2005

Mike Barrow, dal

Barrow has signed with the Dallas Cowboys, filling the roster spot of fellow linebacker Dat Nguyen, who will miss the rest of the season with nagging knee and neck injuries. Barrow posted a career-high 150 tackles with the New York Giants in 2003, but missed the 2004 campaign with a knee problem and eventually was released by the Washington Redskins last summer.

Dat Nguyen, dal

Nguyen will miss the rest of the 2005 campaign after being placed on injured reserve by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday. The linebacker, who has been battling nagging neck and knee injuries, reportedly is considering retirement, according to head coach Bill Parcells. He finishes the year with 31 tackles, one sack and an interception

11/23/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

An arbitrator has upheld the Philadelphia Eagles' four-game suspension of Terrell Owens, and the team has the right to deactivate him. Owens was seeking reinstatement to the Eagles or a release so he could sign with another team.

Patrick Crayton, dal

Crayton's ankle has shown enough improvement recently for him to be listed as questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Denver Broncos, but it's highly unlikely that he will play considering he has yet to resume practicing at full speed. The receiver has been sidelined since undergoing surgery to repair ligament damage in the ankle in mid-October.

11/21/2005

Julius Jones, dal

For the first time in six weeks, Jones was back in the Cowboys' starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Detroit Lions. The running back, who had been limited by a nagging ankle injury, picked up 92 yards on 21 carries, but also lost a fumble.

Brett Pierce, dal

Pierce is expected to require surgery to repair a torn ligament in his knee, an injury suffered in Sunday's victory over the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys' tight end, who has seen limited playing time this season, will miss the rest of the 2005 campaign. He will be placed on injured reserve.

Shaun Suisham, dal

Opening a roster spot for Billy Cundiff, who re-signed with the team prior to Sunday's meeting with the Detroit Lions, the Dallas Cowboys released Suisham. The kicker appeared in just two games during his short stint with the club, nailing both of his field-goal attempts and all seven point-after tries.

11/17/2005

Mike Vanderjagt, dal

As a precautionary measure, Vanderjagt did not get any work in during the Colts' practice on Wednesday, due to a sore calf. The kicker, who is nursing a minor groin injury as well, is expected to return to action Thursday or Friday and be in the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Julius Jones, dal

Jones will be back in the Cowboys' starting lineup as soon as his ailing ankle will allow. The running back, who returned to action last weekend after missing nearly a month with a high sprain, admitted on Wednesday that he's still less than 100 percent. He will continue to split carries with rookie Marion Barber.

11/15/2005

Julius Jones, dal

Jones played in his first game since October 9 rushing for 16 yards on eight carries against the Eagles on Monday Night. He also had a catch for three yards in the contest.

11/14/2005

Jason Fabini, dal

Fabini will miss the rest of the 2005 campaign after tearing his left pectoral muscle in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Jets will place the starting right tackle on injured reserve in the near future.

11/10/2005

Quinton Caver, dal

Caver has signed with the Dallas Cowboys, filling the roster spot of safety Tony Dixon, who was released on Wednesday. The linebacker appeared in 16 games with the Kansas City Chiefs last season, including four starts, and finished the year with 28 tackles.

Tony Dixon, dal

Dixon's stay with the Dallas Cowboys was brief, as he was released by the club on Wednesday, just a week after signing a contract. The move was made to open a roster spot for linebacker Quentin Caver.

Julius Jones, dal

Jones has been practicing with the Dallas Cowboys for the past several days, and he is not listed on the team's injury report this week. The running back, who has been sidelined for nearly a month with a high ankle sprain, is expected to return to the starting lineup for Monday night's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

11/8/2005

Patrick Crayton, dal

Although he's still at least three weeks away from returning to action, Crayton is expected to expand his rehab work this week after having the protective boot removed from his right foot on Monday. The Cowboys' receiver has been sidelined since undergoing surgery to repair ligament damage in his ankle in mid-October. Prior to the injury, he had hauled in 18 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns serving as the team's third wideout in six games this season.

11/7/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

Eagles head coach Andy Reid has announced that Owens will not return to the field this season, as the receiver has been suspended for three more games, then will be deactivated the rest of the 2005 schedule. Owens publicly criticized the organization because he did not get recognized by the club after scoring his 100th career touchdown earlier this year, and he reportedly also got into a fist fight in the locker room last week with former teammate Hugh Douglas.

11/5/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

Despite practicing with the team on Friday, Owens has now been suspended indefinitely by Eagles management for publicly criticizing the organization. Owens was upset that the Eagles did not recognize his 100th career touchdown catch two weeks ago when the Eagles beat the Chargers in Philadelphia. Despite Owens' apology issued the following day, the team felt that the damage had already been done. Rookie Reggie Brown will start in place of Owens this Sunday.

11/4/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

Owens practiced again on Friday, and appears to be on track to start this Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.

Julius Jones, dal

If Jones is held out of practice on Friday, he'll definitely be back on the field with the Cowboys for Saturday's workout, according to head coach Bill Parcells. The running back, who has been sidelined for nearly a month with a high ankle sprain, is expected to return to the starting lineup for the team's Week 10 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas has a bye this week.

11/3/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

Owens' sprained right ankle has responded to treatment, and the veteran receiver was able to return to practice with the Eagles on Thursday, although his reps were limited as a precautionary measure. After reporting no major problems, Owens has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable on the team's injury list. If he can expand his work on Friday, there is a good chance he'll be ready for Sunday's meeting with the Washington Redskins. He'll be a game-time decision.

11/2/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

After spraining his right ankle in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, Owens was unable to practice with the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday, and his availability for this weekend's matchup with the Washington Redskins currently is up in the air. The veteran receiver indicated that the injury could force him to miss up to two games. Owens had surgery on the same ankle last year and missed an extended period, so obviously, the Eagles are going to be very cautious.

Al Singleton, dal

Singleton's 2005 campaign officially has come to an end, as the Dallas Cowboys have placed him on injured reserve. The linebacker, who suffered a broken right collarbone in the third quarter of Sunday's victory over the Arizona Cardinals, finishes the year with 18 tackles and one interception in eight games.

Tony Dixon, dal

Dixon has signed with the Dallas Cowboys, filling the roster spot of running back Anthony Thomas, who was cut on Tuesday. In 16 games with the Cowboys last season, the safety notched 36 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles. He inked with the Washington Redskins over the summer, but was released prior to the start of the regular season.

Lynn Scott, dal

Scott has signed with the Dallas Cowboys. The safety, who spent the last four seasons in Dallas, takes the roster spot of injured linebacker Al Singleton.

Marc Colombo, dal

Colombo has signed with the Dallas Cowboys, supplying the team with some depth on the offensive front. Primarily due to knee problems, the lineman has been limited to just 18 games, including seven starts, since being selected in the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft.

10/31/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

Owens was held without a catch in the first half of Sunday's meeting with the Denver Broncos and finished the game with just three receptions. However, the Eagles' receiver made the most of the limited production, racking up 154 yards on the day, including a 91-yard touchdown.

Al Singleton, dal

According to Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells, Singleton likely will not be able to return this season after suffering a broken right collarbone in the third quarter of Sunday's victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The team will decide in the near future whether or not to place the outside linebacker on injured reserve.

10/30/2005

Julius Jones, dal

With a bye next week, the Cowboys have decided to keep Jones inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Jones continues to suffer from a high ankle sprain that has kept him out since October 9. Marion Barber and Anthony Thomas should get the bulk of the carries at running back.

10/25/2005

Julius Jones, dal

Since they have a bye in Week 9, it appears the Dallas Cowboys are leaning toward keeping Jones out of the lineup for one more game, giving him nearly five weeks to recover from the high ankle sprain he suffered in a victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on October 9. According to head coach Bill Parcells, the running back is highly questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Arizona Cardinals.

10/23/2005

Dat Nguyen, dal

Nguyen will miss his third straight game when the Cowboys take on the Seahawks on Sunday. The Cowboys' starting inside linebacker did not even make the trip to Seattle due to a lingering neck injury. The announcement comes as somewhat of a surprise, as Nguyen had been able to practice this past week.

Julius Jones, dal

Jones has been ruled out of Dallas' Week 7 matchup with the Seahawks due to a high left ankle sprain. The running back, who also missed last Sunday's win over the Giants, did not even make the trip to Seattle.

10/21/2005

Julius Jones, dal

Jones did not participate in practice Friday, and at this point looks unlikely to play Sunday when the Cowboys face the Seattle Seahawks.

10/19/2005

Julius Jones, dal

Jones worked out in practice for the first time since spraining his left ankle October 9.

10/17/2005

Drew Bledsoe, dal

Bledsoe continued his solid play this season, topping the 300-yard mark for the second time on the year in Sunday's win over the New York Giants. The 33-year-old quarterback converted 26 of his 37 passes for 312 yards and a touchdown. However, his day wasn't perfect, as he was intercepted once, sacked three times and lost two fumbles.

Flozell Adams, dal

According to Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells, tests have revealed that Adams has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, after having his leg rolled up on in the third quarter of Sunday's overtime victory over the New York Giants. The starting left tackle will undergo surgery, be placed on injured reserve and miss the rest of the 2005 campaign.

Julius Jones, dal

Jones missed the majority of the Cowboys' workouts last week, and as a result, he was inactive for Sunday's matchup with the New York Giants. The running back, who sprained his left ankle in the team's previous game, was replaced in the starting lineup by Anthony Thomas, while Tyson Thompson and Marion Barber saw some touches as well.

Patrick Crayton, dal

After undergoing more tests on Monday, Crayton does not have a broken bone in his ankle, as was feared originally. However, the Cowboys' receiver reportedly has a significant sprain and will be sidelined for at least a month, according to head coach Bill Parcells. Peerless Price will move up a spot on the depth chart and take over as the team's No. 3 wideout until Crayton can return.

10/14/2005

Dat Nguyen, dal

Nguyen will be re-evaluated on Friday to determine how his ailing neck held up after returning to practice with the Dallas Cowboys the previous day. If no problems are reported, the linebacker likely will expand his workouts over the next couple of days and should be available for Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants. He did not play in last weekend's victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

10/12/2005

Julius Jones, dal

Jones was limited to riding a stationary bike and other individual side work during the Dallas Cowboys' practice on Wednesday, due to a sprained left ankle. The running back, who suffered the injury in the second quarter of last weekend's win over the Philadelphia Eagles before spending the rest of the game on the sidelines, currently is listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants. Tyson Thompson will get the starting nod if Jones can't go.

10/10/2005

Drew Bledsoe, dal

Bledsoe posted his second three-TD game of the season, leading the Cowboys to a 33-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The veteran quarterback completed 24 of his 35 pass attempts on the day, did not throw an interception and avoided being sacked. He has at least one touchdown in each of his five games this season.

Terry Glenn, dal

Glenn was targeted early and often in Sunday's 33-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, which resulted in his third 100-yard performance of the 2005 campaign. The Cowboys' veteran receiver finished the day with seven catches for a team-high 118 yards and two touchdowns.

Julius Jones, dal

Jones did not see any action after injuring his left ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The running back wanted to return to the lineup in the second half, but with the Cowboys boasting a 27-3 lead, head coach Bill Parcells chose to keep him on the sidelines and not risk further aggravation. After the game, Jones said the ailment is minor, and he plans to be in the backfield for next weekend's matchup with the New York Giants.

10/9/2005

Dat Nguyen, dal

Nguyen, who has been bothered by a sore neck for the last couple of weeks, will not be active for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. With the linebacker sidelined, the Cowboys will look to Scott Shanle to fill the void in the starting lineup.

10/6/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

Owens has lingering pain in his lower abdomen and a bruised shoulder, but the ailments did not prevent him from working out with the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday. The receiver, who officially is listed as probable, is expected to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.

10/4/2005

Tyson Thompson, dal

Although he still needs to work on his pass protection, Thompson has moved his way up the Cowboys' depth chart and now will see more time as Julius Jones' primary backup, according to head coach Bill Parcells. In three games this season, he has rushed for 39 yards on 11 carries.

10/3/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

In addition to lingering pain in his lower abdomen, Owens now is nursing a bruised shoulder, an injury suffered in Sunday's victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles' receiver was able to remain in the lineup despite the two ailments, and he finished the game with a season-high 11 catches for 171 yards and a touchdown.

10/2/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

Despite soreness in his lower abdomen, Owens is active and will start for the Eagles this Sunday against the Chiefs.

Julius Jones, dal

Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells has vowed to decrease the workload that he has given Julius Jones. The running back, who participated in 71 plays from scrimmage during last Sunday's loss to the 49ers, should still get a majority of the work, but expect reserves Tyson Thompson and Marion Barber to get a few extra carries.

9/29/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

Owens still has some lingering soreness in his lower abdomen, but the problem did not prevent him from taking part in the Eagles' workouts on Wednesday. The receiver, who was limited last week as a precautionary measure, officially is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.

9/27/2005

Jason Fabini, dal

Fabini will be limited in practice this week after suffering a second-degree sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his knee in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite the injury, the Jets are optimistic that the offensive lineman will be ready for the team's next contest. He is day-to-day.

9/26/2005

Drew Bledsoe, dal

Bledsoe accounted for three of the Cowboys' scores in Sunday's 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran quarterback completed 24 of his 38 pass attempts for 363 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for five yards and a TD on three carries. He threw two interceptions and was sacked twice.

Terry Glenn, dal

Backing up his 157-yard performance from the previous week, Glenn hauled in five passes for 137 yards in Sunday's 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys' 31-year-old receiver has 14 catches for 336 yards and one touchdown in three games this season.

Jason Witten, dal

Witten underwent precautionary X-rays after suffering a rib injury in Sunday's meeting with the San Francisco 49ers. Details about the ailment have not been released, but the Cowboys tight end will be evaluated over the next couple of days to determine his status.

Julius Jones, dal

Jones rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries in Sunday's victory over the San Francisco 49ers and also added four catches for 28 yards. The Cowboys' tailback is averaging 3.5 yards per carry this season after posting 4.2 yards per rush in his rookie campaign.

9/21/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

According to Eagles head coach Andy Reid, Owens suffered a minor strain of his lower abdomen in Sunday's victory over the San Francisco 49ers, and the team decided to hold him out of practice on Wednesday as a precaution. The receiver, who has been nursing a nagging groin problem for the past couple of years, plans to be in the starting lineup for this weekend's matchup with the Oakland Raiders.

9/20/2005

Terry Glenn, dal

Glenn had his best night as a Cowboy on Monday hauling in six catches for 157 yards and a touchdown. It was the most yards in a game for the 10-year veteran since October 3, 1999 (13 receptions for 214 yards).

9/19/2005

Terrell Owens, dal

Owens hauled in five passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 42-3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, his former team. With the performance, the Eagles' receiver topped the 10,000-yard plateau for his career, becoming just the 22nd player in NFL history to reach the mark.

9/14/2005

His day was not perfect, however, as he was sacked four times and fumbled twice, losing one.

Patrick Crayton, dal

Crayton is hoping to hold off the recently acquired Peerless Price for the No. 3 receiver role for the Cowboys this season, as his performance in Sunday's opener against the San Diego Chargers certainly helped his cause. The second-year wideout, who was a seventh-round pick in last year's draft, finished with a career-high six catches for 89 yards and a touchdown.
