Philadelphia Eagles WR Terrell Owens (leg, ankle) has a fractured fibula and a high ankle sprain. He does not have any ligament damage in his knee. He will need surgery to repair the ankle injury, which includes a screw being put through his ankle to stabilize the joint. Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 22. There is a chance he could begin to run in five weeks. If things work out, there is an outside chance he could return for the Super Bowl. Team trainer Rick Burkholder said there are a lot of "hurdles" that need to be overcome to even get to that point.
I just saw the press conference from the eagles website live, tough break... no pun intended
