I say it's a smart decision as well. Romo most likely wanted to be out there since he's a very tough guy, but sometimes you got to dial back the toughness and make smart decisions. You don't want to lose Romo for the rest of the season by playing him if he's still hurting and has limited mobility.

It's the right move. He can have almost a full month off with missing only two games, one of which should be very winnable anyway.

He needs to be healthy for at the Giants and Eagles at home after the bye. They are late season division games and must wins if we intend to win this division, especially with the Skins loss.

This is great news and a smart choice by the coaching staff.

Not sure i file my starting franchise qb out as "great news", but smart decision, sure if its the best thing for the long term.

I think that is the right decision.Sit him and let him heal.No need to risk further injury against a blitz happy defense.

It's great news in terms of not pushing Romo and potentially causing further injury. The Cowboys will obviously need Romo for a playoff push after the bye. I'd much rather come out of the bye at 7-3 and with a healthy Romo than 8-2 with Romo in IR.

Totally agree we need him in those season defining games against Philly

The game is more important than people think, it`s an nfc opponent plus a common opponent in case of tie breakerwith Philly.
