Per SportsCenter Romo fractured clavicle

[NickZepp]

You do know that a broken back bone and a fractured collar bone are very different...right? lol

Radio said this is the same injury he had in 2010. But I think we shut Romo down because that team ended up losing like 8 straight and quit on Phillips

 

[NeonNinja]

Is he?

Yeah, he has even deleted one tweet. He's getting killed on Twitter.

Just heard it may only be 5-6 weeks.

Where'd you hear this? Great news if true.

My bad, I totally misread his post.

Well if it's just a fractured collar bone, I don't see why it would take longer than 6 weeks.

So much to know still. Will it require a plate? If you break the same bone twice, does it take longer to heal? It took him 10 weeks the first time...

That's what I was thinking. I hope it's 4-6 weeks, same with Dez. If that's the case I think we'll be fine.

Although it could be the drugs too

Everyone can give their best guesses but no one will know when, not even the doctors. When it is completely healed, he will be back. That might be in 4 weeks, it might be 10.

Romo is older, he may heal slower now. It doesn't matter if it was his left or right clavicle. It has to be 100% to return or it will break again.

For those that think a fracture isn't as bad as a break.......well, a fracture means a break. It could be a clean break or splintered, we don't know yet.

Clean break heals faster.

Maybe all this adversity is setting up the perfect story line for us to overcome the odds and win the super bowl.

Trying to be positive, that's all I got.

This guy calls himself a doctor.

So are you saying Dallas was pass happy łeading up to that injury today?

Romo attempted more passes in the first 2 games this season than last year at this time because the running game hasn't been effective. The Cowboys averaged 3.7 a carry last week and 3.4 a carry this week. Randle had 18 carries and only averaged 2.7 a carry. The lack of an effective running game forced Romo to have to do more and I posted several times it could lead to an injury.

Open him up and graph some deer antler on. He will be good to go after the bye.

Romo...he has an injury. Weeden did win the game, but the defense made sure that Weeden will win the game.

I have no clue who will backup Weeden this next game.

Number 71 got to go in there in mix it up..looked strong.

But, I really did not like this game, on both sides of the ball. Injuries....

fwiw they just said 8 weeks on nbc

Which was predicted by many here. We have a fragile QB and needed a top tier RB but no dice and now Romo is out.

Said Romo said 8 weeks.

Many here (FANS) weren't worried they felt confident Romo could wing it all season and do just fine despite the lack of a running game.

Everyone does know that last year rushing totals against the Eagles was sub par. Murray didn't reach 100 yards in either game. Eagles to have a good run defense.
