Raiders sign Jeff George
By JOSH DUBOW, AP Sports Writer August 28, 2006 ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- The Oakland Raiders signed Jeff George to a contract Monday, bringing back a player who hasn't thrown an NFL pass in five seasons. George, the No. 1 overall pick by Indianapolis in 1990, joined the team in time for Monday's afternoon practice. He previously played for the Raiders in 1997-98, starting 23 games and throwing 33 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. It is not immediately clear what his role will be on the Raiders, who already have Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter and Marques Tuiasosopo on the roster. George played with the Colts from 1990-93. He was in Atlanta from 1994-96, then spent two seasons with Oakland and one with Minnesota before joining the Redskins in 2000, first as a backup. He was signed by Seattle as insurance midway through the 2002 season, but didn't play. Chicago signed him late in the 2004 season, but he never played for the Bears either. George, known for his strong arm and clashes with coaches, has a 46-78 career record as a starter and has never lasted longer than four years with any one of them. George hasn't played since 2001, when he was cut after two games with the Redskins. In his last two games with Washington, George had a quarterback rating of 34.6, completing 23 of 42 passes with three interceptions. In his next-to-last game with Washington, he and coach Marty Schottenheimer had an animated sideline discussion after George committed four turnovers and was removed from the game. George also had a sideline argument with coach June Jones when he was with the Atlanta Falcons in 1996, and the team suspended him and then cut him. George played well his first season in Oakland, throwing for 3,917 yards and 29 touchdowns in 1997. He struggled with injuries the following season, starting only seven games, and was replaced the following season by Rich Gannon, who was a better fit in coach Jon Gruden's West Coast offense. | |

T.O. returns to practice
By JAIME ARON, AP Sports Writer August 29, 2006 http://sports.yahoo.com/n...&type=lgns IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Terrell Owens practiced Tuesday for the first time in 10 days, an indication he's getting over his hamstring injury and is heading toward his debut with the Dallas Cowboys. Next question: Will it be in the preseason finale Thursday night at home against Minnesota? Or the season opener a week from Sunday at Jacksonville? Considering the safe-not-sorry approach everyone involved has been preaching, Owens is almost certainly going to be held out until the opener. However, he has so much catching up to do that there's a chance he could be used for a series or two in the preseason finale, especially if he decides he wants to try. Neither Owens nor coach Bill Parcells were available for comment after a team spokesman announced that Owens participated in an afternoon workout that was closed to reporters. Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, also did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Owens said Monday that he was feeling better every day and expected to be ready for the opener. "I think I can get myself in good enough shape to play in a game," he said. "I know what I need to do. Obviously, timing is an issue, trying to get in there with the offense, trying to get in the flow. Once I get back on the field and start to break a sweat and kind of get in a rhythm, then I'll be fine." Owens hasn't played in an NFL game since Oct. 30. The Philadelphia Eagles banished him a few days later. His high-profile beginning with the Cowboys was off to a smooth start until he hurt his left hamstring the first week of training camp. He missed 14 straight workouts, then practiced five times until aggravating the injury the morning of Aug. 19. Owens later blamed the team for using him too much after he returned. Team owner Jerry Jones said Monday that mistake wouldn't be made again. "Certainly if we had it to do over again and we were back at (training camp), we probably wouldn't go with as many reps," Jones said. "But that is hindsight. We will take that into account when he does get back out here." Perhaps the best reason to expect that T.O. will be a no-go Thursday night were these comments from Jones: "The best thing that can happen for me over the next 10 days would be for him to get some work in and get comfortable with where he is with his hamstring. He obviously should go out there and run as though he didn't have any type of injury. If he will just go out and get some reps and do some work, all of that will take care of itself." Two MRIs have shown no severe damage to Owens' hamstring, but trainers -- both from the team and specialists on Owens' payroll -- have worked to alleviate pain in the soft tissue. "Like I said since I've come back from reaggravating it, I'm going to take it day to day," Owens said Monday. "I'll be closer to 100 percent before I get back on the field." The Cowboys are 3-0 this preseason without Owens. Fellow receiver Terry Glenn has repeatedly making big plays, showing a connection with quarterback Drew Bledsoe forged over their years together in Dallas and New England. Bledsoe was hoping to build a similar relationship with Owens on the practice field and in preseason games. Owens and Parcells also haven't built much of a relationship. The two have hardly talked, with Parcells saying Monday they had nothing to discuss until Owens returns to practice. Among the things they could've talked about: Owens getting fined $9,500 for being late to work Friday; T.O. told reporters he overslept. "I think once I'm able to practice, then everything will take care of itself," Owens said. "It's unfortunate that I'm hurt. I don't want to be hurt. ... I'm just taking this time to really just rehab every day and get as healthy as I can. That's about all I can do." Owens also said he doesn't care if he starts the opener. He just wants to finish it. "I don't get any bonuses or extra pats on the back for starting," he said. "My value is when I'm on the field and I can make plays." | |

StarMon said: Big Ben is out in Pittsburgh.Roethlisberger won't play Thursday By Jason Cole and John Murphy September 3, 2006 http://sports.yahoo.com/n...&type=lgns Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not start the season opener against Miami on Thursday night after having an emergency appendectomy on Sunday afternoon. Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett confirmed the surgery and said that Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher has already announced that backup Charlie Batch will start. Roethlisberger, who could be discharged as early as today, is considered week-to-week. Roethlisberger told the Steelers medical staff that he has been up all night vomiting and had stomach pain when he came to the training facility Sunday morning. The staff put him through a short examination and quickly sent him to the hospital. A doctor who did not wish to be identified because he is unfamiliar with Roethlisberger’s condition said it generally takes two or three days before an average person is released from the hospital after an appendectomy. The surgery rarely has any long-term side effects, meaning that Roethlisberger should be able to play relatively soon. One concern is a patient losing weight and strength in the short-term. Roethlisberger had already lost approximately 20 pounds after a motorcycle accident he suffered June 12. Roethlisberger was told he nearly died in the crash, but made a quick recovery despite several head injuries because he wasn’t wearing a helmet. Roethlisberger recovered quickly enough after the accident that he was able to play in the exhibition opener for the Steelers. | |
