Romo has broken bone in back; out 6-10 weeks ** Mega Thread **

[Richmond Cowboy]

Have they specified what type of fracture? He had a transverse process fracture a couple years ago that only kept him out a couple of weeks.

I'll wait for more official word.

He's played with certain fractured bones in his back before.

The era of Romo is ending. You cant be blind to it any more. These injuries are just a sign.

Romo has nothing left in the tank. Plain and simple. Its time to go with the rookie and start to rebuild.

Truer words have never been spoken.
But I think he has plenty in his heart. But his body knows better.

Folks it is just about over. We have to hope that Dak can play like he has during the regular season. He's a rookie so I'm sure he's going to have ups and downs. We'll at least be able to see him play and see if he is our future starter. Tony's been a great QB but this will be 2 straight seasons he will have lost major playing time. It's time for him to start thinking about retiring.

was a really dumb decision for tony to play in seattle

 

[Proof]

This is the saddest news in some time. Wow. I'm as excited as anyone for Dak, but not like this. Damnit


Everyone feeling the need to say I told you so ... congrats. I've got some ways to advise you to celebrate that would get me banned tho

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is out after an MRI showed he has a broken bone in his back, coach Jason Garrett announced Saturday.

Garrett, however, would not rule the quarterback out of the season opener against the New York Giants.

Romo hurt his back on the third play of Thursday's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. He immediately reached for his lower back after getting sacked from behind by defensive end Cliff Avril, who jammed Romo's back into the turf in the first quarter.

ESPN staff writer Todd Archer contributed to this report.

One of my sports apps, "The Score" is saying out 6 - 10 weeks.

Romo is truly one of the unluckiest athletes I have ever seen. Always gets the blame with things go wrong, and when things go right, he gets injured. It sucks for him. I really hope that he comes back and proves the haters wrong once and for all, even if it's with a team other than the cowboys.

If it didnt happen in seattle it was going to happen week 1

 

[MrMom]

Seems like it's gonna be closer to the 10 weeks than the six, if the bone needs to completely heal.

 

[cajuncocoa]

Haven't been around in awhile. Just heard this news. Speechless.

Well, if Dak is a total failure (probably not) then the entire thing implodes, which is good. Maybe Jerry croaks and we can completely start over.

Sure, but it's OK for the homers to tell everybody they're stupid to worry, right?

Heck of a double standard you've got going there.

 

[Kevinicus]

Why go through the motions? 6 to 10 weeks until what? He starts to try to get back into shape. All iit took was one hit.

That's all it ever takes...smh.

Time for him to retire. It's not just ending, it should be over.

And that has nothing to do with Prescott. I'm actually not thrilled with the idea of Prescott being the guy with no sensible fall back and not much time for him to learn.

And I was one of the few that actually wanted us to draft him prior to the draft.

This is not a great situation for the team to be out in.

As per jjt no timetable yet

Now if only Zeke would be indicted we could could get a No. 1 pick next spring...
