Disgruntled All-Pro receiver Terrell Owens isn't faking a groin injury, Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid says.
Owens left the morning practice after injuring his left groin Thursday and did not return for the team's afternoon workout.
"It's a legitimate injury," Reid said. "This guy would never do that. He's not that type of guy. He would never go in that direction."
Owens is hoping the Eagles will redo his contract. He's beginning the second season of a seven-year deal worth just under $49 million.
