PHILADELPHIA — Terrell Owens was involved in a locker-room fight with former teammate Hugh Douglas a few days before the All-Pro wideout was suspended indefinitely without pay by the Philadelphia Eagles.
On his radio show Sunday night, Douglas said no punches were landed. He didn't discuss further details.
"It's not something you're proud of, so why should I glorify it?" Douglas said on WIP-AM.
Owens was not with Philadelphia on Sunday night for its game at the Washington Redskins in Landover, Md. Eagles president Joe Banner said coach Andy Reid would meet with the player in the coming week.
"Andy will basically figure out where we go from here," Banner said during an impromptu news conference on the Eagles' sideline before kickoff. "He indicated to T.O. that he'd talk to him later this week and give him a more definitive status report."
Banner wouldn't answer questions about how long the suspension would last, whether he expected Owens to play for Philadelphia again or what the specific reason was for the punishment. But Banner did say the suspension is without pay. Owens is scheduled to make $3.5 million in base salary this season, so the suspension would cost him more than $200,000 per game.
"There's an accumulation of events culminating with a series of things last week, including the very public interview that he did," Banner said. "I think there's a long list of things, some of which you know about and some of which aren't public."
Owens was suspended on Saturday, two days after he criticized the organization for not publicly recognizing his 100th career touchdown catch. In the same interview with ESPN.com on Thursday, Owens took another shot at quarterback Donovan McNabb, saying the Eagles would be better off with Green Bay's Brett Favre.
Owens apologized Friday in a statement and later on his weekly radio show, but the damage already was done.
Asked if Owens will play again for the Eagles, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told WSVN-TV:
"I don't know. We're going to have to see what the Eagles decide. Everything is very much up in the air right now. The Eagles have said that they'll think about it. They're going to make some determination as to what their plans are. Right now, this is indefinite."
