| Terry Glenn and his balky right knee have yet to pass a physical, according to the Star-Telegram. Jerry Jones said Tuesday the Cowboys will wait as long as possible for the wide receiver to sign a $500,000 injury settlement, but it is something that needs to be done if Glenn is going to play in 2008. The Cowboys believe Glenn needs season-ending, and possibly career-ending, microfracture surgery to fully repair his knee, but they're supportive if Glenn wants to try to play through the injury without undergoing an operation. |

| Jerramy Stevens is likely to be suspended for two regular season games for a DUI arrest and conviction, according to PewterReport.com.

| Terrell Owens decided to comment on coach Bill Parcells regarding the way he is handling Jason Taylor, according to the Dallas Morning News. Owens thinks Parcells is out of touch with today's athletes, and remarked, "I think he plays too many head games with a lot of people. What Jason was doing was beneficial for him (regarding his stint on Dancing with the Stars). It's not football-related, it has to do with his personal life. Coach Parcells is way off base to criticize and call Jason out in the manner that he has. They're starting to realize he is kind of out of touch with a lot of today's athletes and things that are going on."
