Glenn says Cowboys are keeping him out of team workouts

Wide receiver Terry Glenn did not participate in the team's OTA workouts this week, but it wasn't because of an ongoing problem with a right knee injury that caused him to miss 15 games last season.

Glenn has been work out vigorously throughout the off-season. He showed up Tuesday for team meetings and planned on joining his teammates for workouts this week.

However, he was held out of workouts by the Cowboys.

Glenn, who will be 34 on July 23 and has grown sensitive to the uncertainty surrounding his status, communicated his point of view via a series of text messages late Thursday night.

"Let's just say I showed up Tuesday for meetings and...," Glenn said. "Ur gonna have to do the math. I'm not going against management in the media. But I want people to know I'm not practicing, not by my choice."

Im not against this at all. Its too early in the offseason to worry about him not being up to game shape/speed or w/e if you dont get him in there. So why take the risk with a guy who is going to be playing on a knee that will need another surgery probably after this year anyways? I know anytime you practice theres a risk obviously, and im not saying hold him out of training camps or anything like that, but these are just OTAs, not even worth it.
As an added benefit you get the younger guys youre trying to develop some extra work in that area which is always good.

For some reason though holding him out has led to speculation by a lot of media that he isnt healthy. But who cares what the media speculates?
