The Facts:
Cowboys officials are optimistic Owens will return from a left high-ankle sprain in time for next Sunday's divisional round playoff game against the winner of todays' Giants-Buccaneers game. "I like where he is," owner Jerry Jones said on his Friday radio show. "Our trainers are really satisfied with the progress that he's making. He's got his boot off. The swelling, [there is] none detectable or relatively little. And when you compare that and the nature of his injury with the rehab of other players in similar situations, then we [should] be optimistic."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Owens has been rehabbing at Valley Ranch and had a four and a half hour session Saturday morning. He is expected to meet with Cowboys trainers again today. According to Morning News staffer Calvin Watkins, Owens, who was injured Dec. 22 against Carolina, is so intent to return that he attended rehab sessions with trainers on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
