justnzane Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 DALLAS — Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens suffered an allergic reaction to pain medication Tuesday night and was admitted to Baylor Medical Center, according to a team source. Owens' publicist, Kim Etheridge, said of the incident, "This is not serious." The source said Owens' status is unknown for today's practice and for the Cowboys' game Sunday at Tennessee. KTVT, a Dallas TV station, reported that a fire rescue team took Owens to the hospital, reportedly to the emergency room to induce vomiting. Dallas police did not confirm nor deny any details. Calls to Owens' agent were not returned. Owens was on pain medication after he suffered a broken bone leading to his right ring finger in the Sept. 17 game against Washington. The next day, Owens had a plate screwed in to protect the bone so it could heal with no further risk of damage. Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said Sept. 20, "the pain medicine made [Owens] ill." The original prognosis was that Owens would be out two to four weeks. But after having the plate inserted into his hand, the question was whether Owens could withstand the pain of playing and catching passes with the plate. Owens has not practiced with the team since the injury. He caught passes Tuesday on the side, and Parcells earlier said he thought Owens would join the team for practice today.

Dante Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Probably spun by the publicity department. Must have OD'd on crack or something.

Gordio Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I dont know if anybody has seen this but on CNN on top of their news alerts, it says a Dallas radio station is reporting that Terrell Owens tried to commit suicide last night. That is all it says.
