Cowboys put Romo on IR-return list, ensuring 7-game absence

Romo will not have surgery to fix the collarbone. The typical recovery time is eight weeks. More importantly, fear not, Dez and Romo will be back.

After looking at several candidates early this week, Dallas has apparently settled on Buffalo quarterback Matt Cassel, according to Brandon George of Dallas Morning News late Tuesday. He would not say whether the Bears (0-2) would start Jimmy Clausen when they visit defending NFC champion Seattle (0-2) this weekend. I think it is fixable, I don’t think it’s anything major. There’s a lot of ways to acquire players. “So that, plus Tony’s injury, is a reminder that you’ve got to have somebody behind him now”.

But it’s encouraging to know that Weeden has the ability, unlike practice squad member Kellen Moore who also had a tremendous career at the college level while at Boise State. You can trade for them.

“In the next couple days we’ll try to determine if that’s a worthwhile option for us”, Garrett said.

“One of the concerns we have is the fact that [Weeden] had the concussion during training camp and that limited him for a period of time”. We discuss how and why it happened, and where the Birds go from here.

Jones bought the Cowboys from Bum Bright in 1989 for $140m, and has come in for criticism from many quarters, notably for firing respected coach Tom Landry shortly after purchasing the team.

“I wouldn’t rule anybody out”. Dallas certainly gave us some encouraging signs after Brandon Weeden stepped in to close the deal, but it is still unknown to what the Cowboys can do without their two best players offensively. The Cowboys might get the second half off to a solid start against the Atlanta’s defense.

The question is can he win games?

Ponder seems to likely be the leading candidate for the job, as he is a former first round draft pick in 2011.

Pro-Bowl quarterback Tony Romo’s fractured clavicle suffered in a 20-10 win over the division rival Philadelphia Eagles (0-2) has all of Cowboys nation in a paranoid frenzy. 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. They will instead have to hand the reigns over to second-year back Devonta Freeman this week, who isn’t as consistent in between the tackles as Coleman was, but is a much bigger threat out of the backfield in the passing game. The other was in 2010, and he missed the final 10 games of the season.
