Owens joins Pro Bowl practice, but still won't play

KAPOLEI, Hawaii -- Terrell Owens just can't stay off the
football field.

Although the Philadelphia Eagles receiver already gave up his
spot at the Pro Bowl because of his ankle injury, Owens still
participated in the NFC squad's practice Friday. Owens ran a few
routs and later caught a few passes on the sideline after posing
for pictures in his Pro Bowl uniform.

Owens returned to the Eagles' lineup for the Super Bowl just 6½
weeks after surgery to place two screws in his ankle. The All-Pro
caught nine passes for 122 yards in Philadelphia's loss to New
England.

Owens was selected for his fifth Pro Bowl in nine NFL seasons,
but was replaced on the NFC roster Wednesday by St. Louis' Torry
Holt. Owens also missed the Pro Bowl last year with an injury.
