News: DMN: Moore: Cowboys' words after CT scan suggest Romo suffered more than contusion

[mahoneybill]

X-rays were negative at the stadium, so that tells me there was nothing cracked or broken. If an X-ray showed a broken bone I don't think the medical staff would clear him to return to the game.

I bet next month's mortgage payment it was a kidney shot, a soft tissue injury to an organ would not show up on an X-ray so that explains him being cleared to reenter the game. Also, this could explain the CT scan the following day to make sure the kidney was just bruised and not lacerated or partially ruptured. There was also a report going around the internet that Romo had blood in his urine, that again is a dead giveaway that you have an injured kidney.

As others have said, a kidney shot is one of the most painful injuries you can have. I have seen UFC fighters literally vomit after a match from the pain of a kidney shot.

Agree on the kidney. Saw somewhere that he had blood in his urine, which to me would be the result of a kidney bruise more than a contusion.

He should have not been allowed to come back in the game and should sit until after the bye.

It's football season, football players play. Playing hurt gains him respect ask Jay Cutler about sitting when hurt and not injured.

I'm not a doctor nor have I played one on TV, I have no idea if there is anything more than a deep bruise, there is a lot of speculation from the outside of what it could be but no one knows. What we do know is if he can deal with the pain and discomfort he will play. My guess is Romo will play.

Precisely. I will add I hate yellow journalism.

If he will be as bad as he was after coming back against the skins, i would sit him and roll with Weeden.

My guess is Romo will not play against the cards. If we don't know yet he is not playing. It sounds a lot like last year going into the last game. I don't think it's that bad but i feel like he is too injured to play.

Jerry Jones is an idiot for coming out and saying the decision will come down to pain tolerance. Why say that? What good will that do?
