The End of T.O.?

There comes a day when every career ends. It's not always on the player's terms. Time and injury catch up with everyone if they last that long in the NFL.

Terrell Owens may have reached the end of the road. At the age of 37, he was having a very productive season with the Cincinnati Bengals. Two weeks ago, he tore cartilage in his left knee. As with the case of so many players, he continued to suit-up in the last two games.

During last Sunday's game against Cleveland, he aggravated the injury while making a cut during his team's opening offensive series. He hobbled off the field and into a potential retirement.

He had surgery done by the noted Dr. James Andrews. He faces a long struggle ahead to convince teams that he is a viable receiver next season at the age of 38.

He might be T.O. , but at his age, there are fewer opportunities available for him. He could get signed for one more season, but the likelihood of ever getting a Super Bowl ring is rapidly fading.
