Tony Romo will not require surgery, to miss eight weeks

A person with knowledge of the deal says the Cowboys have acquired quarterback Matt Cassel from Buffalo with Tony Romo sidelined at least seven games because of a broken left collarbone. Fletcher Cox recovered Romo’s fumble and Bradford drove the offense to the Cowboys 3 before Sean Lee intercepted his pass in the end zone.

Sam Bradford, DeMarco Murray and Co. were dismal in Sunday’s 20-10 loss to Dallas that dropped the Philadelphia Eagles to 0-2. “That is the big question”, said Cowlishaw.

The Eagles (0-2) were favorites to take the NFC East title away from Dallas, but look more like a team that will contend for the top pick in the draft than the playoffs.

Without Romo, the Cowboys are turning the keys to the offense over to Brandon Weeden, who is 5-16 as a starter with the Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.

“I’ll be back… It’s going to take a little bit of time”. I know what is at stake. “It’s a combination of all those things”. We didn’t run a lot of plays.

After fracturing his left clavicle in Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the general timetable for Tony Romo’s return was stated to be somewhere in the neighborhood of eight weeks.

Romo, who missed 10 games with a similar injury in 2010, will be evaluated Monday.

Back up quarterback Brandon Weeden successfully widened the lead during his stint taking snaps.

There have been many players throughout the history of the National Football League that have struggled early on in the season after signing with a new team. “So if there is a viable option out there, we’ll explore it”.

The expected time frame would have Romo back sometime in mid-November, when the Cowboys play at Tampa Bay on Nov. 15 and at Miami on Nov. 22. The Cowboys benefited in not placing Dez Bryant on the injured reserve/designated to return list because they can use the tag on only one player. Otherwise, his absence could approach three months if he skips a short week for the Thanksgiving home game against Carolina and returns December. 7 at Washington.

It seems as if Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is towing that fine line between optimism and delusion. And he will miss a visit from Super Bowl champion New England on October. 11. He will have a chance to get better and into a groove. Romo was injured on the play and left the game.

For all his merits as a person and a broadcaster (he’s quite good in that role), Tebow is just not a good quarterback. No one is gonna feel sorry for you, you can’t feel sorry for yourself. “That’s not really how the world works”.

Also, this Cowboys defense undoubtedly has had the measure of Kelly’s Eagles over the past few years.
