Bill Coats, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports former NFL DE Hugh Douglas is enjoying his retirement from the NFL. "I don't miss it at all," said Douglas, who works in sports-talk radio in Philadelphia, in a visit to Philadelphia Eagles camp in Lehigh, Pa. "Some guys retire, then the next year they're trying to get into a camp and hook up with a team. Not me. It's hot. I'm going home."

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports Philadelphia Eagles WR Terrell Owens threw five or six punches at former defensive end and team ambassador Hugh Douglas during an altercation this week. One of the punches was described as a shot that would have done major damage if it had landed. The team has not made a decision on when Owens will return from his suspension, but several Eagles players said they find it hard to believe he will ever re-join the team.

Mark Eckel, of the Trenton Times, reports Philadelphia Eagles WR Terrell Owens had a fistfight with former defensive end and current team ambassador Hugh Douglas. The fight occurred in front of several of his teammates. According to one of the sources the Owens-Douglas fight "was like WWE Smackdown." Another source said both men threw at least two punches during the altercation and when it was over Owens challenged QB Donovan McNabb first and then everyone else in the room saying, "You want some. Anyone else want some." The Eagles refused to comment about the situation, other than the statement that revealed Owens' suspension. Owens and Douglas have been at odds since training camp and almost got into an altercation in an elevator at Lehigh University.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said that he thinks DE Hugh Douglas looks rusty, but that he does appear better because of his offseason surgery. "I think he is still a little, maybe a week away there, as far as just getting all of the rust out," Johnson said. "I think anytime you lay off like that, he's not used to that arm, you know, I think he is still rusty a little."

Ashley Fox, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles WR Terrell Owens was kneeling away from the fray, quiet and alone at practice Tuesday, August 2, when DE Hugh Douglas approached him. Douglas essentially extended his hand to Owens. Owens hardly looked at Douglas as he got up and walked away, leaving the brushed-off Douglas less than happy. "I was just trying to be nice," Douglas said later, after LB Jeremiah Trotter calmed him down, told him to give Owens some time, and promised to talk to the disgruntled wide receiver. "He's in a situation where he's trying to get something done, so he's probably a little upset. In a situation like that, I think the best thing to do is give him some space and let him work it out."
