Terrell Owens
The Philadelphia receiver suffered a broken fibula on Dec. 19, 2004 on a horse-collar tackle by Dallas’ Roy Williams. Owens had surgery and had a screw inserted into his leg. The Eagles said a best-case scenario was that there was an outside chance Owens might be able to return if the team made it to the Super Bowl. The Eagles did make it to Super Bowl XXXIX and Owens was able to play. He wound up catching nine passes for 122 yards in a loss to New England.
