Here's the best example yet of Terrell Owens living up to his vow of being "a better teammate" now that he's playing for the Dallas Cowboys: He's refusing to share his opinion about a brewing quarterback controversy between Drew Bledsoe and Tony Romo.

"Quarterback controversy?" he said Wednesday, rolling his eyes and laughing. "We're not even going to talk about that unless I move to the defensive side of the ball, become a defensive end or something like that. Any quarterback questions, don't ask me."

Owens certainly knew the question was coming. So did the team's public relations director, who chatted briefly with Owens as the receiver made his way to the reporters waiting at his locker.

: Receiver did not suffer any broken ribs in the season-opening loss to New Orleans, but will miss the game Sunday against Cincinnati. He was injured in the first quarter on while making a 20-yard catch on a fourth-down play that was called back by a penalty.

: Free-agent receiver (Clemson) agreed to terms of a two-year contract. Gardner was released by Green Bay in the preseason, after playing for the Packers and Carolina last season.

Gardner was Washington's first-round pick in 2001. The best of his four seasons with the Redskins came in 2002, when he had 71 receptions for 1,006 yards and eight touchdowns.

the No. 2 overall pick in the 2003 draft who was cut by Detroit, visited the Dolphins Tuesday. Rogers wasn't with the Dolphins when they resumed practice Wednesday.

"I've known Charles Rogers since he was in the 10th grade, so I didn't have any new impressions of him," said Miami coach who recruited Rogers while coaching at Michigan State. "He's a big guy, he runs fast and he did a nice job in the workout. It was good to see him again."

Joseph replaced starter who left the opener Sunday with a strained calf. Karney will miss two to four weeks. The 6-foot, 244-pound McIntyre spent the past two seasons with Cleveland.

Coach said Darche, the snapper on place-kicks and punts for the past six seasons, tried to play through lingering hip muscle weakness Sunday against Detroit.

Holmgren said starting linebacker who missed the Detroit game with a muscle injury between his neck and shoulder, is questionable for the next game.

The Redskins put safety on injured reserve and signed safety Prioleau (knee) was on the opening kickoff Monday against Minnesota. He is out for the season.
