BUF: WR Owens will miss preseason against Chicago

Aug 14, 2009

Terrell Owens will miss the Buffalo Bills' preseason game against Chicago this weekend because of a sprained toe that has prevented him from practicing all week.

Coach Dick Jauron ruled Owens out of Saturday's game after practice Thursday night, saying the toe is healing but the team doesn't want to take any chances with the receiver aggravating the injury.

Though Jauron didn't have a timetable for when Owens could resume practicing, Owens tweeted earlier in the day that he expects to return to the field as soon as Monday. He added that fans don't need to worry about his injury.

Owens has missed three days of practice and not made himself available to reporters. While the team's been practicing, Owens has been getting treatment in the Bills training facility.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
