Moore: Cowboys' words after CT scan suggest Romo suffered more than contusion
http://www.***BANNED-URL***/sports/...suggest-romo-suffered-more-than-contusion.ece
IRVING — Raise your hand if you thought Tony Romo would play every snap of every game.
How many of you were convinced that a quarterback unable to practice more than four consecutive days in training camp, one who skips the Wednesday practice leading up to games to concentrate on core exercises to strengthen his back, would sail through the regular season without an issue?
Romo’s health is an overriding theme to this season. The only question was when it would significantly impact the Cowboys’ preparation for a game.
The answer is Week 9 against Arizona.
The quarterback’s status for Sunday’s game is uncertain as he deals with back pain from an undisclosed injury. That puts the spotlight on backup Brandon Weeden, who could make his first start in a Cowboys uniform...
... but no one is calling it a contusion.
That suggests the injury is more significant.
“I don’t want to get into specifics about what it is,” said Romo, who did divulge the injury is not to a disk or related to his previous two back surgeries. “It will be something you’ll look at each day, figure out a way to manage it and go from there.
“It has nothing to do with back surgery or anything like that. It could have happened years ago and it would have been the same thing. It’s part of playing football.”
