Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens (81) stretches behind quarterback Drew Bledsoe (11) during practice in the indoor field at Valley Ranch in Irving, Texas, Thursday.

Publicist Kim Etheredge could not immediately be reached for a response. The voice mail on her cell phone was full, and she did not respond to an e-mail from The Associated Press.

The unreleased police report, which WFAA shared with the AP, stated there was an attempted “suicide by prescription pain medication,” that Owens was described as being depressed and that Owens said “Yes” when asked whether he was trying to harm himself.

According to Owens, the problems began when he mistakenly mixed his prescription pills with supplements he ordinarily takes. The combination left him woozy, and Etheredge, who was with him at his Dallas condo, became worried when he couldn’t respond to her questions. Having also discovered an empty bottle of pills, she called for help.

He said he doesn’t know what he told emergency responders because, “I was kind of out of it.”

Owens went from the hospital to catching passes within a few hours Wednesday. He then showed up to a packed news conference wearing workout gear and his usual wide smile, seeming more amused than peeved. He apologized for being a distraction, thanked his friends for worrying about him and said he is “not depressed by any means.”

“I am very happy to be here,” said Owens, who received a $25 million, three-year deal from the Cowboys in March, four days after the Eagles released him. “My thing is I have come here to help this team get on a roll, get on the track of getting into the playoffs and winning some ballgames.”

He’s especially eager to play a week from Sunday, when Dallas plays at Philadelphia, offering him his first chance to beat the team that gave up on him midway through last season.

Owens has played two games for the Cowboys, catching nine passes for 99 yards and a touchdown. He broke the bone leading to his right ring finger against Washington. The next day, doctors screwed in a plate so the bone could heal without fear of further damage, leaving a 2-inch scar on top of his hand.
