Dallas receiver Terrell Owens (ankle) took part in drills with his teammates Friday and indicated he will play Sunday against the New York Giants. "I'm good,'' he told reporters after practice. "See you Sunday.'' Coach Wade Phillips said Owens will start. "Terrell said he's going to play, and I believe him. I think he will attempt to play, and we will let him,'' Phillips said. "To what degree, at what level, remains to be seen in the game. Unless something unforeseen happens, I think he probably will [play].''

Commentary: There was no way Owens was going to miss this game, but he might not be nearly as effective as usual. The Giants are hot, and the Cowboys are still banged up despite a week of rest, so this could be a major struggle for Dallas.

Fantasy Football Impact: Owens might not contribute much in this game, but he had a heck of a season and will be a solid pick next season.
