When Romo gets back, things will change. Brad Johnson is done in the NFL. His passes last week were not even mediocre. With Brad Johnson as QB, we would be lucky to win another game.
Look at how many people are injured. Does it surprise you that we suck right now?
QB Tony Romo (finger) - Romo did not play in Sunday's game. He was the backup quarterback and had his fractured throwing pinkie protected by a splint and bandages. Wade Phillips said his status for this week was "To be determined." Phillips also expected the approach to the injury this week to be similar to last week.
S Roy Williams (forearm) - The five-time Pro Bowler returned to the field Sunday for the first time since Week Two, but it proved to be too early. Williams again broke his right arm, this time in a different spot. He will be placed on IR and will wear a cast instead of facing surgery.
LB Bradie James (elbow) - James suffered a hyper-extended left elbow during the second quarter Sunday, but returned to the game the next series. In the locker room after the game, the elbow was wrapped with ice. He told a coach he hoped to practice this week, and didn't have any protection over the arm Monday.
S Keith Davis (head) - After losing vision momentarily and having his eyelid flip open on a big block on special teams, Davis returned to the game after a break. He also played Sunday with a lacerated thumb.
RB Felix Jones (hamstring) - Missed practice all week and is out two to four weeks after pulling his hamstring early in the third quarter against Arizona. He did not travel to St. Louis.
LB Kevin Burnett (calf) - The Cowboys special teams ace and sub-package linebacker was held out of practice all week with a calf strain evidently suffered in the Arizona game. He said the calf was fine, but Burnett did not take his usual role on the nickel and dime defense, and had more limited duty on special teams.
LB Anthony Spencer (hamstring) - Suffered the hamstring strain against the Cardinals and was out for the St. Louis game after missing all week of practice. Early last week, Phillips classified him as week to week.
CB Terence Newman (sports hernia) - Had surgery performed by hernia specialist Dr. William Meyers in Durham, N.C., Oct. 10 and is expected to be out at least four weeks. Mike Jenkins will replace him in the starting lineup after Pacman Jones' suspension, and Orlando Scandrick will come in on the sub-packages.
LG Kyle Kosier (foot) - While Wade Phillips said Kosier is close to a return, the veteran guard isn't quite back after reinjuring his foot against Green Bay. He didn't travel to St. Louis. Cory Procter has filled in as the starter, but Montrae Holland got some work for the third straight game.
S Pat Watkins (neck) - Despite having full participation in practice this week, Watkins was ruled out on Friday, making the game the third straight he didn't play, recovering from reoccurring stinger injuries.
NT Tank Johnson (ankle) - Johnson has been dealing with a nagging right ankle injury suffered in Week Three against Green Bay, but has not missed a game. He played behind Jay Ratliff Sunday.
DE Marcus Spears (illness) - The defensive end played Sunday while still fighting through a stomach virus that forced him out of practice Friday.
P Mat McBriar (foot) - Has been placed on injured reserve with fractured bones in his right foot after Arizona's Sean Morey collided with him on the blocked punt to end Sunday's game. That means he is out for the season. The Cowboys have signed first-year punter Sam Paulescu to replace him.
WR Sam Hurd (ankle) - Had surgery to repair torn ligaments after he suffered a high ankle sprain against the Cardinals last Sunday. The Cowboys placed him on injured reserve on Oct. 16 to make room for veteran linebacker Carlos Polk.
