Owens Likely to Miss First Pre-Season Game

No, this isn't a Terrell Owens blog.  But still, schadenfreude can be really fun sometimes:

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) -- Terrell Owens said Monday his nagging hamstring injury likely will keep him out of the Dallas Cowboys' preseason opener Saturday night in Seattle.

Although an MRI taken Saturday showed no damage, Owens isn't taking any chances. He's having his healing-inducing hyperbaric chamber shipped to his training camp hotel room. Two trainers and a doctor from Atlanta are on their way, too.

Parcells sounds like he's enjoying dealing with his mercurial new superstar as well:

T.O.'s status report on himself had to be news to coach Bill Parcells, who said "I don't know" in response to most questions about Owens' health during his daily news briefing.

"I know everything I need to know," he said. "Well, there's nothing more to know. Maybe not knowing exactly is all I'm capable of knowing at this point."

And this is just awesome:

The Cowboys already were concerned about their depth at receiver, with question marks after third-stringer Patrick Crayton. They gave Freddie Mitchell -- Owens' friend and a former Philadelphia teammate -- a workout Sunday.

Strap on that championship belt, FredEx.
