IRVING, Texas (AP) –– Terrell Owens played in a Super Bowl for Philadelphia seven weeks after getting a plate and several screws put in his ankle. Now he’s hoping another plate and three more screws in his right hand will enable him to play against the Eagles.

Owens had a plate screwed into the bone attatched to his right ring finger during an operation Monday evening. His recovery time is estimated at two to four weeks, but he’s likely to do all he can to rejoin the Dallas Cowboys in 20 days for his much–anticipated return to Philadelphia on Oct. 8.
