FOXBORO, Mass. -- New England Patriots receiver Terry Glenn says he'll appeal his latest suspension after missing practice in a dispute with coach Bill Belichick over a hamstring injury.

Glenn told the Boston Globe he was willing to drop all his grievances against the Patriots if he can go to another team.

"I don't need a big contract," said Glenn, whose five grievances include one to regain the signing bonus the team withheld. "I'd rather be happy than make a lot of money. I'm not happy here."

Glenn, who missed the past six games with the injury, was suspended Thursday for one game by Belichick.

The two "had words" on the practice field Wednesday, Glenn told the Globe.

For the first time in seven weeks, the Patriots upgraded Glenn to probable on their injury report, meaning the team felt he had a 75 percent chance of playing Sunday at the New York Jets.

"It's been six weeks since the injury," Belichick said Thursday. "It's gotten better."

Glenn said it wasn't good enough.

Doctors and trainers never told him he was cleared to practice, and he never reported that he was ready, he told the Globe.

"The only one I heard it from was Belichick," said Glenn, who has played in one of New England's 11 games. "I guess he's a doctor now."

Glenn was not available Friday for comment. The Patriots did not return a call seeking reaction.

On Wednesday, Belichick said Glenn's suspension was a disciplinary matter that wasn't injury-related. He said it was team policy not to provide details.

Glenn said he planned to return to the team Monday after his suspension ends. He also said he didn't empty his locker, which was missing his nameplate and had only an ankle brace inside Thursday.

Glenn missed the first four games of the season serving an NFL suspension for violating its substance abuse policy. Belichick's attempt to suspend him for the season for leaving training camp was overturned by an arbitrator.

Thursday's suspension is "the latest in a long list of things they try to accuse me of. It never ends. Why keep it lingering like this year after year? Let's just move on," Glenn told the Globe. "It's never going to end until we part our separate ways."

Belichick said Thursday, "I'm not trying to make any determination on the future right now. We're just dealing with the situation as it is."

It's been a chaotic year for the fourth-leading receiver in Patriots history.

Next Tuesday, he has a hearing in Wrentham District Court to dismiss a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery on the mother of his son. A felony charge of intimidating a witness was dismissed earlier. Glenn was arrested in May and was charged with assaulting Kimberly Combs at his Walpole home.

He missed the first four games this season after the NFL suspended him for violating its substance abuse policy. Glenn made an immediate contribution in a 29-26 win over San Diego, catching seven passes for 110 yards and a touchdown.

Glenn complained of leg soreness after that game and hasn't played since.

In an interview last Sunday night on WBZ-TV after New England's 34-17 win over New Orleans, Glenn implied that his injury was related to the team's decision to withhold $8.5 million of his $11 million signing bonus.

"I'm bothered by a hamstring right now, and I'm not getting paid," he told WBZ. "You do the math."

The comment was interpreted by some to mean he faked the injury, but Glenn denied that.

"I did not say that I wasn't playing because I wasn't getting paid," Glenn said. "I don't care how people interpret it. I didn't say it, because that's not true. If my hamstring was ready to play, I'd play."
