WHILE Terrell Owens waits for an NFL team to contact him, the 15-year veteran wide receiver has focused his attention toward an acting career.
Owens, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament and had surgery in early April, filmed an episode of the sitcom "Necessary Roughness" on Wednesday at the Georgia Dome. He said his knee is a couple months away from being completely healed and though no team has contacted him, he still expects to play this season.
"I'm still not 100 percent to be able to go to a team and contribute," Owens said. "When I get to the point to where I'm comfortable and able to run around, I'll feel like those calls should be coming."
Owens, 37, said he is not worried about skeptics who wonder if can still be a major NFL contributor. He said he is capable of making plays on the field, pointing out the 983 yards and nine touchdowns he had with the Cincinnati Bengals last season.
Owens also said the league's 4 1/2-month lockout helped him. He said after his surgery four months ago, he didn't feel pressured to rush his rehab because there were no offseason training activities being held.
"It worked out for me," he said. "I don't see where there was a disadvantage considering nobody was doing anything at the time."
