Gov. Greg Abbott on Romo injury: ‘Maybe Dallas will sign Tim Tebow’

The New York Jets have to face the unsafe Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football. According to Todd Archer via ESPN.com, Romo took to Twitter to stress that he will be ok and will not require surgery which means he might be back sooner rather than later. With the October. 18 bye, that pegs Romo’s return November 22 against the Miami Dolphins or possibly November 26 against the Carolina Panthers on Thanksgiving.

Cassel said he turned down offers to sign with other teams to stay in Buffalo because he was familiar with the Bills’ system and because he didn’t want to relocate his wife, who was eight months pregnant.

NOTES: Garrett said he was optimistic TE Jason Witten would play against the Falcons despite injuring both ankles and a knee against the Eagles.

Romo could be placed on injured reserve with the designation to return, but the Cowboys have not yet made that decision. Bryant is expected to be out at least six weeks. Romo will stay engaged in the process even though he can’t play. But Garrett said when the moment is right, he’ll probably give Weeden some advice.

“Priority one has to be taking care of the rehab and getting him back as quickly as possible”, Garrett told reporters. Yet, the Cowboys may not have total confidence in him.

The two quarterbacks on the practice squad, Kellen Moore and Jameill Showers, have never taken a snap in a regular-season game, although Moore is a fourth-year player who worked under Cowboys offensive co-ordinator Scott Linehan in Detroit.

There are no words I can use to express how important Romo is to that organization and what type of hope he brings to his teammates. After being sacked he clutched his left shoulder and was down for a couple of minutes.

Our group continued the tour with eyes wide open, but in the back of our minds we contemplated how the season might play out if Romo were to miss significant time. Weeden has a 72.4 passer rating in two seasons with the Browns and one in Dallas.

The Cowboys are 6-9 in 15 games without Romo since he became a starting quarterback in 2006. This is the first time in his career he has worked in the same offense with the same coordinator in consecutive years.

The Cowboys have workouts scheduled for four retread quarterbacks Tuesday as the team begins itssearch for a backup to new starter Brandon Weeden.

This is why it’s absolutely absurd for anyone to think that Jerry Jones should go out and trade for someone like a Robert Griffin III to run this team until Romo’s return.
