TERRY GLENN PRACTICED!!!! WOOT!

Yahoo Sports said:

Cowboys receiver Terry Glenn went through some drills at practice for the first time all season Wednesday, a good indication the already dominant Dallas offense could have another weapon by the playoffs.

Glenn, out because of two knee operations, is not expected to play Sunday against the Eagles. He's more likely to make his season debut the following Saturday at Carolina or in the regular-season finale at Washington. If the Cowboys get a first-round bye, Glenn would have four weeks of practice before the first playoff game.

Coach Wade Phillips said he'd like to see Glenn be able to tolerate several practices in a row before using him in a game.

"It's a slow progression, certainly, but we want to be careful," Phillips said. "He didn't seem to be limping on his leg at all, so there were some positive signs from him being out there. He looked very quick. That was a good thing. ... (After practice) he was still smiling. That's my doctoring right there. If they're smiling, they're getting better."

Cornerback Terence Newman missed team drills Wednesday because of a sprained big toe on his right foot and a slight knee injury. They're new injuries, sustained this past Sunday, and not related to previous problems with his knee and heel.

"He might be able to practice tomorrow so I'm not too discouraged," Phillips said. "But it may be a similar situation to what we've had all year, where he comes in as a sub guy instead of a starter."

Glenn was supposed to be Tony Romo's deep threat until he had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee during training camp. He was hurt again in his first practice back, leading to a second arthroscopic procedure in September. It wasn't a typical scope, though, which is why he's been so slow to return. At the time, he also was considering season-ending microfracture surgery.

Dallas has kept Glenn on the roster all season exactly for this scenario -- a return just in time for the playoffs.

"Terry is an anomaly, he's a guy that really can't be covered one-on-one," Romo said. "We're going to see to what extent he comes back, obviously. If it's the old Terry Glenn, this guy is unbelievable. ... I like our offense a lot right now, obviously. With him coming back, I think that we add another dimension that helps us be even more explosive."

Glenn's return to practice had been expected for several days. He's been working out at team headquarters in recent weeks, and on Friday he ran routes and caught passes.

This time, he came out wearing a red Ohio State hat, a blue Cowboys sweatshirt and with his right leg tightly wrapped. He limbered up with teammates, then spoke with assistant trainer Britt Brown as individual drills began. Glenn then went to the end of the line as fellow receivers caught passes being lobbed by a coach. The next session required cuts off the line and he made them smoothly, with flashes of his great speed.

The Cowboys already have clinched the division title and can wrap up a first-round bye with a win Sunday at home against the Eagles. If Dallas wins and Green Bay loses at St. Louis, the Cowboys also would clinch home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

Glenn caught 70 passes for 1,047 yards and six touchdowns last season, with his best days coming after Romo replaced Drew Bledsoe. So when Glenn went down in the preseason, it was expected to slow the Dallas offense.

The Cowboys have done just fine without him, though, leading the NFC in scoring and yards, and on pace to set club records in both categories. Still, they're eager to have him back.

"It'll be another guy for defensive teams to contend with," fellow receiver Terrell Owens said. "Everyone knows the impact Terry Glenn (can have) and once he gets out there and gets his feet underneath him, I'm sure he'll be back to his old self."

Although he's 33 and in his 12th season, Glenn -- when healthy -- is among the fastest players on the roster and perhaps Dallas' most well-rounded receiver.

Even at less than full strength he could hurt defenses that pay too much attention to Owens and Jason Witten. Of course, any extra attention paid to him would open things up for Owens and Witten.

Patrick Crayton has done a nice job filling in for Glenn as the No. 2 receiver and could keep that spot, with Glenn being the third receiver. Or perhaps they'll share both jobs. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett probably won't mind having to solve that problem.

"Terry's a phenomenal talent," Romo said. "Anything that he does, even if it's 80 percent of what he was before, he's still going to give you something good."

Gonna hate on someone cause he didnt show yall respect!! Thats funny comin from a Pats fan!! Got Em!!

Skizzy Ske · Dec 13, 2007

^ i think crayton is a GREAT #3 or #4 receiver, with TO/WITTEN/GLENN(when he returns) making most of the catches. He's had some pretty good games this year as well.

CZAR said:

KrazeeRDM · Dec 13, 2007

CZAR said:

KrazeeRDM · Dec 13, 2007

CZAR said:

regardless what u say crayton is only average nothing more. ur not schooling u just seemed biased urself. oh well dont care i dont think crayton is good enought to keep an argument goin about him so i'll leave it on that note lol

D'struction · Dec 13, 2007

Why yall arguing bout Crayton??? I think Miles Austin and Sam Hurd need to get involved.....they can make some plays when they get the chance

CZAR · Dec 13, 2007

I aint arguing shit!! I defend my people when they are hated on!! if u dont think someone is good thats one thing, but when u say "all he does is talk so I dont like him" thats hatin!! Its all good cause Stallworth is booboo so it dont matter!! And yea Hurd and Miles can play but its tough to get time on the field!! Got Em!!

KrazeeRDM · Dec 13, 2007

CZAR said:

exactly with that stalworth comment. i think both of em are just average but got raised up to be something better. i think it with stalworth as well. and i'm not sayin all he does is talk i'm sayin when he talks he says shit that he doesnt really have an effect on. like sayin the pats d was wack but they shut him down pretty much. he also guaranteed a superbowl appearance and if they do he will be on the bench unless they need a 3rd receiver. i dunno i may be wrong bout him talkin shit but everytime he opens his mouth he says shit he himself cant act on. the only thing stalworth can do that i consider not average is the shit he does after the initial catch and hit but yeah still average to me.

CZAR · Dec 14, 2007

Well first off he will play alot even when and if Glenn returns! He is good whether u believe it or not! 2ndly he scored a TD on yall so wasnt shutdown!! 3rdly I think u are a lil harsh with his comments! He never said they were wack!! I mean Moss & T.O. have said worse so whats the problem?? Well see what happens if we meet in the bowl!! Got Em!!!

KrazeeRDM · Dec 14, 2007

CZAR said:

he said the d aint that good at all, and they werent the real deal. and he guaranteed a superbowl appearence which disrespects the entire nfc. i just think his bark is waaay bigger than his bite
