WR Greg Lewis Ready To Step Into Owens Spot
5th July, 2005 - 7:56 pm
The New York Times - The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for life without consummate holdout Terrell Owens.

As long as Owens remains AWOL, his replacement is likely to be the 25-year-old Lewis, who proved reliable in the playoffs last season but who is largely unknown and who has built a football career from repeated instances of being ignored and unappreciated.

"Being at the bottom is the way I like it," Lewis, who is 6 feet and 180 pounds, said. "You've got to prove yourself every day. That's what I've always been doing. Nobody gives you anything. You've got to go out and take it."

At this time, there has been no indication from the Terrell Owens camp that the receiver will return with the exception of a recent attempt to play on the Sacramento Kings NBA summer league team which was quickly quashed by the Eagles. [READ]
