IRVING, Texas (AP) -Terrell Owens ran routes and caught passes in his return to practice Thursday, showing only a slight limp at times. The All-Pro receiver seems on track to play in the Dallas Cowboys' playoff game against the New York Giants. Owens, recovering from a sprained left ankle, didn't go against any defenders during the short period of practice open to the media. But he took part in some team drills after that. While he was taking full strides running routes and making some cuts without any |

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -New Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland says the team moved quickly to hire David Lee as quarterbacks coach because of the job's importance, even though the head coaching position remains vacant. Lee is a former Dallas Cowboys assistant. ``There was an urgency to find the right person to coach the most important position on the team,'' Ireland said in a statement. ``We didn't want to lose the ability to add someone as talented as David to our staff, so when he became available |

Defensive end Anthony Spencer, a captain in 2006 and a rookie this year with the Dallas Cowboys, said Tiller is trying to relate better to today's players. ``He's definitely a good coach, but he's probably more stuck in the old ways,'' Spencer said. ``He has been working to become more of a players' coach.

IRVING, Texas (AP) - It was a quarterback's dream. DeMarcus Ware was nowhere to be found. The linebacker who had the most sacks in the NFL this season was supposed to be in a hallway behind the Dallas Cowboys' locker room to talk about becoming All-Pro for the first time. However, Ware had slipped into an office, safe from reporters. Nothing unusual about that. For someone so visible during games, Ware does his best to avoid attention the rest of the time. Lately, though he would prefer to be left |

| Irving, TX (Best E Casino) - Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens returned to practice Thursday for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain against the Carolina Panthers on December 22.

Barring any setbacks, the star receiver should be able to play in the Cowboys' playoff game against the New York Giants on Sunday.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Jim Fassel knows the predicament Wade Phillips is going through as the Dallas Cowboys prepare for their NFC semifinal against the New York Giants. Beating a team three times in a season is a nightmare for a coach. Fassel's stomach still churns discussing his most pressure-packed game in seven seasons as Giants coach. It wasn't the Super Bowl against the Ravens in 2001, nor the NFC title game against Minnesota just before that. It came in the NFC semifinal that year against |

They were blue, courtesy of a little dye put in his shoes by Plaxico Burress a couple of days ago. Even with the NFC semifinal against the Dallas Cowboys on tap Sunday, the life of rookie doesn't change until the season ends.

IRVING, Texas (AP) -First, a teary apology by Tony Romo to his teammates after the botched hold that cost the Dallas Cowboys their first playoff victory in 10 years. Then came the long wait for another chance. The way Romo has played this season proves the flub didn't haunt him. But even his closest friend on the team admits to having had his doubts. ``That play, all of us were really wondering how he would overcome that,'' All-Pro tight end Jason Witten said. Romo never wavered in his self-confide |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Terrell Owens still wasn't able to practice Wednesday because of a high ankle sprain, continuing the drama of whether the Dallas Cowboys will have their newest All-Pro receiver for the playoff game Sunday against the New York Giants. Coach Wade Phillips didn't even see Owens on Wednesday, but knew he was doing all he could to get healthy. And if T.O. says he's ready to go at game time, Phillips will let him play. ``The guy played pretty good in a Super Bowl game that they said he wa |
