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 apparent problems, Owens had a slight limp at times when he jogged or walked.
"I thought that he moved well, and ran at the level that we were practicing, and those weren't half-speed," owner Jerry Jones said. "He's in very good spirits, very competitive spirits, very focused on our success here Sunday."
T.O. stopped and spoke with receivers coach Ray Sherman after completing one route. Owens then took off his helmet and could be seen smiling while talking to backup quarterback Brad Johnson.
Seen in the perimeter around the locker room during lunch before practice, Owens appeared to be walking fine, though he said little.
"You're not getting anything out of me," Owens said.
Owens told the NFL Network he was going to play.
"At a high level," Owens told Deion Sanders. "Not worried about nothing."
Owens hurt his ankle Dec. 22 in the game at Carolina, and sat out the regular-season finale at Washington. He took part in the team's light walkthrough Monday, but didn't practice Wednesday while doing rehabilitation.
