DETROIT - Terry Glenn is another step closer to potentially returning from his Sept. 13 knee surgery this season.
The Cowboys' veteran receiver has begun running routes during his rehab exercises and caught some balls from practice squad quarterback Richard Bartelduring a productive workout this past Friday.
There's a chance Glenn could participate some in this week's practices, though Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said evenif he did Glenn wouldn't be ready for next Sunday's game against Philadelphia. The team's Dec. 22 road game at Carolina is apossibility, however, Jones said.
"He's working his tail off and they're doing a good job on him," Jones said of Glenn's diligent rehab with Cowboys assistant trainerBritt Brown and the rest of the Cowboys' training staff. "No one knows, but from where we are right now relative to what we've got planned for himthis week and next week, I'm positive."
Jones said he expected Glenn to practice some this week for the first time since suffering a second, though unrelated, right knee injury this summer. Glenn hadtwo options at the time of the second: Undergo season-ending microfracture surgery that would promote growth of new cartilage, or simply have the looseparticles removed to maintain hope of returning this year.
Glenn chose the latter, even though the scope is a short-term solution that doesn't guarantee a full recovery. While there's no timetable for hisreturn, the strength in Glenn's quad has improved and he hasn't suffered any setbacks during his recent workouts. The Cowboys have held ontoGlenn's 53-man roster spot with optimistic hope he'll be able to return this year. Jones said earlier this week Glenn still could be a factor comeplayoff time even if he doesn't play in the regular season.
we're 12-1 without him and dominating....lord knows how explosive our offense will be when he comes back
