Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips has ruled out wide receiver
Terry Glenn for Sunday night's game against the New York Giants because of a knee injury that could sideline him indefinitely.

"It's a blow not to have him for this ballgame," Philips told reporters Friday morning.
Glenn suffered an injury to his surgically repaired right knee during Wednesday's practice. On Aug. 1, Glenn had a cyst removed from the knee and missed the entire preseason. The injury suffered Wednesday was a new injury, possibly involving cartilage.
Phillips said the team is gathering more information about the injury and more tests will be done to determine Glenn's long-term future. The Cowboys briefly posted a story on their Web site Thursday that Glenn might have to go on the injured reserve list but pulled the story quickly after reviewing the injury.
Glenn is expected to miss at least two weeks, but the tests will determine exactly how long he will be out. Patrick Crayton, who has filled in for Glenn during the preseason, will get the start on the other side of Terrell Owens.
Phillips said it would be a gametime decision on whether cornerback Terence Newman will be able to play with his plantar fascia foot injury. Linebacker Kevin Burnett returned to practice Thursday. He is recovering from ankle surgery.
