The Cowboys are considering putting Tony Romo on injured reserve

While his play was a bit rusty, Romo revitalized the Cowboys and brought a new energy to a bunch that had previously lost seven straight games.

I don’t think there is any better opportunity than what you would get with Dak coming in next weekend, so it’s an exciting time, and here we go with the National Football League and a back up quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.

Like 31 other teams, the Dallas Cowboys have decisions to make regarding their roster this weekend.

One of the most important calls Dallas has to make has to do with the quarterbacks.

The latest chapter of the Tony Romo Injury Saga is playing out just like the original script of 2015.

Jones said they’ll make the call on it sometime over the weekend, because, regardless of how they handle it, Romo will have to be part of the 53-man roster initially.

“So you’ve got to have him through the 53 cut before you can put him on the designated to return

if we wanted to consider that”, said Jones.

The Star-Telegram believes the initial timeline of 6-10 weeks for a Romo return, as reported by CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora, is now on the back end of that timeline. Should they put him on the injured reserve list/designated to return? “But it may be that we just keep him on the roster”. So if Romo is not expected to play through the first six weeks of the season, the team may decide it makes more sense to place him on injured reserve to free up a roster spot. It’s unfortunate for Tony that he has some of these things, but I think the last thing in the world we’re anxious about with Tony is being fragile. Romo also suffered a back injury in 2014, and he only missed one game, but this injury is different.

If he goes on injured reserve/designated for return, the earliest he could play would be against the Cleveland Browns Nov. 6.

Now he needs to get back on the field to prove it.
