Cowboys QB Romo out for season with collarbone injury
A few minutes later, a somber Tony Romo talked to reporters with his left arm in a sling for the second time this season because of a collarbone injury.
The Cowboys were hopeful that Romo could salvage their season, but the star quarterback struggled in his return, throwing two touchdowns to five interceptions.
Pro Bowl safety Mike Adams (ankle) is doubtful, while cornerback Greg Toler (groin) and outside linebacker Erik Walden (heel) are listed as questionable after doing limited work in Friday’s practice. “Defense went out there and brought their A-game and made our job a lot easier”.
Owner Jerry Jones said a CT scan Friday morning confirmed that Romo sustained a hairline fracture in the similar vicinity of his previous injury, and would not play the rest of 2015.
The Lions quarterback connected with Calvin Johnson for three of his touchdowns, completing 27 of 38 passes for 337 yards as Detroit picked up their third straight win.
“If we continue to roll and make things happen, we’ll validate ourselves eventually”, Rivera said last week.
“Kurt had that big pick and really set the tone”. This is the second time this season Romo has broken that clavicle, meaning he will be out for the foreseeable future.
Up next for the Panthers will be New Orleans on December 6. Newton did a lot of handing off on the drive but converted a key third-and-17 with a 24-yard completion to Jerricho Cotchery and a third-and-10 with an 11-yard toss to Cotchery.
As you can see, Romo rolls over on that shoulder as he takes a sack by veteran linebacker Thomas Davis.
The Dallas Cowboys saw their incredible slim chances of salvaging their season turn to ashes on Thanksgiving. This is the third time Romo has fractured his collarbone on the left side. “That took me to a whole other place. That’s what I did today, and I have to live with that”. This time, Kuechly jumped to haul in a pass over the middle intended for tight end Jason Witten.
It’s not the play calling, McCarthy said. “He shows up. He prepares extremely well. I put us in a hole and you can’t do that against good football teams”. Aaron Rodgers passed for 202 yards, a touchdown and an interception for Green Bay, which has lost four of five to fall to 7-and-4. Romo actually won his first of those, against Buffalo in 2007.
However, Newton and the Carolina offense couldn’t cash in for a touchdown. He snatched the pigskin at the Dallas 36 and sailed untouched into the end zone, and following a successful PAT by Graham Gano, Carolina led 7-0 with 14:01 left in the first stanza.
In an update, ESPN’s Ed Werder noted that Romo will miss the entire season since his recovered collarbone only lasted for two games.
With Romo out for the remainder of the season, the Cowboys will start Matt Cassel and could also add Kellen Moore to their roster.
