Terrell Owens: Predictions for T.O.'s Big Debut During Seahawks vs. Broncos Game

On Friday night, Terrell Owens will be back on an NFL football field for some meaningful action for the first time since December 12, 2010.

Hopefully, in his debut with the Seattle Seahawks, T.O. can muster more than one catch and 22 yards, his statistics in his final game as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals.

After that game, Owens hit a tumultuous patch in his career. He was ignored by every professional team and forced to sign with the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League. He was released in May of this year and made it known that he wanted to come back to the NFL.

He finally caught a break when head coach Pete Carroll and the Seahawks offered him a one-year deal earlier in the offseason.

Now he’s expected to become a productive member of the roster, although it’s highly doubtful that the team expects him to play at a Pro Bowl level considering his current place on the depth chart.

According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, Owens is stuck behind Golden Tate, Kris Durham, Braylon Edwards, Lavasier Tuinei and Ricardo Lockette, and has to claw his way up if he’s even going to see action during the regular season.

The one thing Owens has going for him is his health, which his coach acknowledges, according to an Associated Press report (via ESPN):

"He's ready to go," Carroll said. "He had two good weeks of work, and he came in in great shape, so he's ready to go."

This preseason is likely T.O.’s last shot at making an NFL roster, as he is now 38 years old and has been on the decline for several years.

He’s going to get a chance to move up the depth chart and make some noise against the Denver Broncos on Friday night, and he had best hope he can come through.
