Cowboys QB Romo has broken bone in back

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is tended to by a trainer after he went down on a play against the Seattle Seahawks during the first half of a preseason National Football League game on Thursday.

That being said, the question has to he asked: what does this latest injury, which insures that Romo will once again fail to play a full National Football League season, mean for his career?

“Whenever you take a hit, that was a perfect-timed situation”, Romo said, per ESPN.com’s Todd Archer.

It seems Dallas does not yet know how long it will take Romo to recover, or at least the Cowboys don’t want their competition to know.

“So that probably more than anything else is what is not giving us a timetable”.

Romo missed 12 games last season after twice fracturing his collarbone. It was revealed that he had fractured two transverse processes in his back, an injury with which he played the rest of the season, which was arguably the best of his career. Kellen Moore (broken ankle) is expected to be out for even longer than Romo, leaving Prescott and 2015 undrafted free agent Jameill Showers as the only healthy quarterbacks on the roster.

With Tony Romo suffering a compression fracture in his back and out for an undetermined amount of time, the Cowboys will be on the lookout for veteran backup help, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones.

“At the moment when you go down, you crunch so your back gets squished, I guess you could say”.

Center Travis Frederick said the team was surprised by the news on Romo when they reported to the team’s new practice facility Saturday.

Barkley said the following on a Friday morning radio show in Philadelphia about how this was “just not good” for Elliott.

He boasts at 139.8 QB rating through three games and has completed 39 of his 50 passes for 454 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions. He also has two rushing TDs.

Prescott, a fourth-rounder from Mississippi State, has turned heads this preseason.
