Owens returns to Bills practice after nursing toe injury

With Terrell Owens' sore toe finally healed, his next step is seeing whether he can boost the Bills offense which has been limping through the preseason.

Just don't expect him back for Buffalo's preseason finale against Detroit on Thursday.

After missing three weeks with a sprained toe, Owens returned to practice on Monday and declared he'll be ready to play in two weeks for the regular-season opener against New England.

"We're going to be smart about it," Owens said. "We've got the big opener to the season against the Patriots, so that's where my focus is right now."

Coach Dick Jauron also said there's "not a good chance" Owens will play Thursday.
