The Facts:
Owens missed practice Sunday because of tightness in his lower back. Owner Jerry Jones said he wasn't worried about the receiver's absence, and that the team didn't consider the muscle stiffness to be serious. "It's nothing structural. He just has a tight back," said Jones.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Before missing Sunday, Owens had taken part in four straight workouts, including two Saturday, since being given time off by HC Wade Phillips so the receiver could rest his sore legs and hamstrings. Owens went through drills full speed without any apparent problems during workouts Thursday through Saturday. Stay tuned. ... It's not clear if Owens would return to practice Monday, when the Cowboys have two workouts scheduled. Owens' availability for the pre-season opener Thursday night against Indianapolis also became uncertain.
