| Cowboys Glenn out for year? ![]() It looked Wednesday as if Cowboys WR Terry Glenn would be ready to go against the Giants after he returned to practice. But Thursday owner Jerry Jones announced the veteran receiver will need more surgery and will miss the 2007 season. "You hate to see this with one of your top players, and we need all of those we can to be on the field," Jones said. "It's a real blow for Terry and for us." Glenn missed all of preseason after having arthroscopic knee surgery Aug. 1 to remove a tiny cyst from the back of his right kneecap. -- Bergen Record North Jersey Media Group providing local news, sports & classifieds for Northern New Jersey! |

| Re: Cowboys Glenn out for year? GLENN OPTING AGAINST SEASON-ENDING SURGERY? On Thursday, the team's official web site posted an item that Glenn would miss the year, citing owner Jerry Jones. Ten minutes later, another story was posted -- from the same writer -- stating that Glenn would miss the first two weeks of the season. On Friday, Glenn said that he is presently weighing two options regarding his injured knee. Door No. 1 is season-ending knee surgery. Door No. 2 is yet another arthroscopic procedure to remove torn cartilage. "I want to play this year, and I really feel I have chance so I'm really leaning toward taking the [damaged] piece out and trying to play this year even though I'm risking the rest of my career by doing that," Glenn told ESPN's Ed Werder. "I think that's what I'm going to do. I'm not sure, but I've played 12 years and don't have a lot of years left. I want to win now, and I think we have a chance to win now. "My Super Bowl chances are running out, so that's what I will probably do. But I know there's a great percentage risk that I could do that, ruin my knee, never play again and have to limp the rest of my life." Glenn also disputes coach Wade Phillips' explanation that Glenn's current knee problem is unrelated to the knee injury that required arthroscopic surgery on August 1. "Anybody saying this injury is not related to the other injury -- BS," he said. "This would never have happened if I hadn't been hurt already." Glenn says that the problem is the result of efforts by him to run on the knee before it was ready. "It didn't feel the way it should have felt, but the pressure and the hype of the season starting really got to me, and I was told I could not injure my knee further by going out and just running on it," Glenn said. "I wanted to win the game for my teammates because that means a lot to me. But it wasn't ready and now I've injured it even more." ProFootballTalk.com -- The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet |
