ABC News: Owens May Ignore Order, Play in Super Bowl — What else can this guy do to be the center of attention?
PHILADELPHIA Jan 26, 2005– Terrell Owens might try to play in the Super Bowl, ignoring his doctor’s orders.
Philadelphia Eagles head trainer Rick Burkholder said Wednesday that Owens plans to continue rehabbing his injured ankle in an attempt to suit up against the New England Patriots on Feb. 6.
Dr. Mark Myerson, the surgeon who operated on the All-Pro receiver in December, said Tuesday he would not clear Owens to play in the Super Bowl.
“We understand Dr. Myerson’s point of view. It’s just that our risk-reward is different than his risk-reward,” Burkholder said. “He has great risk in clearing Terrell to play and no reward. We think there’s some risk and we think there’s great reward, so right now we’re going to progress with his rehab.”
