Either WR Marshall or Owens has little chance to join Dolphins

According to the Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano, his team has little interest in free agent wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Terrell Owens, although each of the two receivers’ production in 2009 could almost equal to the total of the three receivers that played for the Dolphins last season.

Sparano told the media assembled at the owners meetings in Orlando, Fla. recently that he’s not sure if either Marshall or Owens would be a good fit for his team.

“I don’t know if they make sense for our ball club, one way or the other,” Sparano said Tuesday morning. “I’m happy with the group of players I have right now.”

It has been speculated for long that the Dolphins are in the free agent market looking for a big-play wide receiver that can help the team in the red zone. If neither Marshall nor Owens is their choice, they could plan to get young talent to put on the Dolphins jersey from the April’s draft with the 12th overall pick in their hand.

T.O. missed practice again with sore toe

One day after he tested his sprained toe during a 20-minute workout, Terrell Owens missed another day of practice.

But Bills coach Dick Jauron did not think it as a setback. He said that Owens required more treatment and was told to stay off his feet. The 20 minutes of practice on previous day was just a test. Owens just still experienced discomfort standing after taking part in stretches and individual drills during practice Monday night.

“It was just kind of a test,” Jauron said. “We were hoping he could maybe do the same thing today, but we didn’t have any preconceived notions.”

After he jammed his toe in the 21-18 loss to Tennessee in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 9, Owens missed totally five of six practices and a preseason game against Chicago Bears.
