NFL TRAINING CAMP NEWS
Dallas Cowboys receiver Terry Glenn had arthroscopic surgery on his
right knee Tuesday, the same day Terrell Owens got a break from
practice to rest his sore hamstring. While an MRI showed no serious
damage after Glenn hurt his knee in practice Sunday, the decision was
made to have the procedure after he kept having pain. He is expected
to be out about two weeks. "There's a little positiveness here because
if there's a little something loose there, we can get it out," owner
Jerry Jones said. "There was something loose, some little cartilage or
something in the joint. They thought they'd get it out now. We don't
think it's serious."
Frank Gore, the San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl running back, broke a
bone in his right hand Monday during the first padded practice of
training camp and might not play in the preseason. Gore was injured
during a non-contact ball-handling drill, and coach Mike Nolan said he
would not practice with the team for the remainder of the week. Gore
will be re-evaluated next Monday, and Nolan expects him to return to
practice then with a cast on his hand. "He'll be ready for the latter
part of preseason, but his participating in the preseason, we'll wait
and see on that," Nolan said....
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Vikings RB Chester Taylor
was carted off the practice field Tuesday with a right shoulder
contusion, according to coach Brad Childress. Taylor was later spotted
on an exercise bike wearing padding with no hard cast. He did not
comment on the status of his arm....
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that the knee injury sustained
by projected starter Vernand Morency was worse than the team's medical
staff originally thought, and that he now expects Morency to be out "a
couple" of weeks. The good news: McCarthy said Morency probably won't
need arthroscopic surgery. "I don't think so, no," McCarthy said.
