Owens' roster spot
7:32AM ET
Terrell Owens | Seahawks
Earlier this week, a report indicated that the Seattle Seahawks would either keep one or neither of Terrell Owens or Braylon Edwards, but not both of them. Though they line up at different positions within the realm of WRs, neither one of them would likely offer to work on special teams, which is generally a requirement of wideouts lower on the depth chart.
Edwards got off to a fine start, leading the Seahawks in reception yardage in the preseason opener (as well as a TD catch), but Owens will get a chance to show what he's got during this week's event. "I'm not going to tell you how many plays it will be," Seahawks HC Pete Carroll indicated, per the Seattle Times. "We'll see how it goes, but he's going to play pretty early in the game."
The Seahawks have a large group of players competing at WR this preseason, and many of the others would seem to be more willing than Owens (or Edwards, for that matter) to contribute on special teams as well. Owens will have to really make his mark over the next few weeks in order to retain his spot on the team.
