The Facts:
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acknowledges that he is concerned about Owens' upcoming finger surgery and his ability to be ready for the 2007 season. Jones is worried about Owens' ability to be in top shape by training camp, not just because of the finger, but because he could lose time acclimating to the coaching staff and possible changes to the offense.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Owens is set to have a second surgery Thursday to repair a torn tendon in his right ring finger. According to team trainers, he is not expected to start catching passes until training camp in July. Still, Jones said the surgery and rehab will have no impact on his decision to pay Owens a $3 million roster bonus in June to guarantee his $5 million salary for next year. He reaffirmed that Owens is under contract and will be with the Cowboys.
