Football Betting Lines
09/04/2010 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wide receiver Matt Jones and kicker Dave Rayner were among the players released by the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, as the team reduced its roster to the 53-man NFL limit.
Jones, a former first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars who was attempting to revive his career in Cincinnati, fell victim to a numbers crunch at the wide receiver position. Jones had four catches for 54 yards in the 2010 preseason.
Rayner was part of a preseason kicking competition with Mike Nugent, but could not beat out the former Jet. Rayner was 6-of-8 on field goals in the preseason, but missed his only attempt beyond 40 yards.
Also released on Saturday were wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, tight end Chase Coffman, defensive tackle Orien Harris, safety Kyries Hebert, tight end Darius Hill, linebacker Abdul Hodge, guard Otis Hudson, running back James Johnson, tackle Gabriel Manns, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, safety Jeromy Miles, safety Rico Murray, wide receiver Maurice Purify (injury settlement), linebacker Vincent Rey, tackle Chris Rodgers, cornerback Johnny Sears, guard Isaac Sowells, fullback Joe Tronzo, fullback Fui Vakapuna (waived/injured) and safety Marvin White.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
