Terrell Owens is willing to go to great lengths in regard to continuing his NFL career.

The free agent wide receiver reportedly was in South Korea for stem-cell therapy on his surgically repaired ACL, according to The Korea Times, South Korea's oldest English-language newspaper.

Indianapolis Colts stud quarterback Peyton Manning underwent a similar procedure in Europe for his surgically repaired neck.

"We do have our branch hospital in the United States, and Dr. (James) Andrews advised Owens to contact it first, which then led him to visit our office here," Dr. Lee Jung-no told the newspaper.

Owens is five months removed from a torn ACL, an injury that usually requires six months of recovery. While with the Philadelphia Eagles, he did play in the Super Bowl after the 2004 regular season with a broken ankle.

Owens, 37, is looking for a team after playing for the Cincinnati Bengals last season and catching 72 passes for 983 yards and nine TDs while missing two games with a knee injury.
