United Press International DALLAS — Drew Pearson, the Dallas Cowboys’ No. 1 touchdown producer, was listed Wednesday as questionable for Saturday’s crucial game with Philadelphia because of a twisted knee he suffered while celebrating a touchdown catch last Sunday. “We’ll just see how he progresses during the next few days,” head coach Tom Landry said. “Butch Johnson (who has played behind Tony Hill most of the season) will move over to Drew’s spot and start if Drew is unable to go.” Pearson hurt the knee — and drew a $100 fine — when he caught an eight-yard scoring pass from Ro ger Staubach during Dallas’ 28-7 win over the New York Giants, leaped high into the air, tossed the ball into the end zone stands and landed off balance. He was able to return to the game, catching another pass andlj with enough yardage toputlii 1,000 yards on the season ij second time in his sevtj career. The knee was examined sively early in the week and blood drained from it, bulk was concerned enough to pm son on the questionable list, with defensive end John Dir the showdown with the NFC leading Eagles.
