| 5th November, 2005 - 3:03 pm |  ESPN - The Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday suspended Terrell Owens for an indefinite period for conduct detrimental to the team, a catch-all sanction that club officials decided to impose after deliberating much of Friday over how to address the latest flap with the loquacious wide receiver.
Owens will miss the Eagles' key Sunday night game against the Washington Redskins and it is uncertain when, or if, he will return to the team. Under terms of the league's collective bargaining agreement, a player can be suspended for a maximum of four contests for conduct detrimental to the team.
The suspension will cost Owens $205,882 for every game he misses, based on his salary of $3.5 million for this season.
It is not certain if Owens, who was suspended for a week in training camp, will appeal the latest sanction by Eagles officials. Agent Drew Rosenhaus did not immediately return messages on Saturday afternoon.
Rookie Reggie Brown, a second-round draft choice, is expected to replace Owens in the starting lineup. [READ] |
