Reid wants to make peace with Owens
BETHLEHEM, Pa. — A day after they booted Terrell Owens out of training camp, the Philadelphia Eagles took an even harder stance on their star’s contract dispute:
T.O. can play for the Eagles or he won’t play at all.
Team president Joe Banner said Thursday that when the banished wide receiver returns to camp next week, it will be without the new contract he desperately wants and with an understanding that he can no longer become a disruption.
“Our hope, obviously, is that he comes back next week and is what he can be in every sense, whether that’s how he contributes to the team on the field or off the field,” Banner said. “We’ve been clear that the choices are to play under this contract or not. I’m not sure he still believes that, but we’ve said from Day 1 those were the choices on the table and he had to make a choice between one of the two things.
Packers slice the Chargers
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brett Favre’s offseason work paid immediate dividends Thursday night in the Green Bay Packers’ 10-7 preseason victory over the San Diego Chargers.
Favre, who trained with a strength and conditioning coach in the offseason for the first time, completed 9 of 10 passes for 91 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions in 1 1/2 quarters of work.
