PFT: Jason Garrett doesn’t rule out Tony Romo for Week One

[Reality]

Notwithstanding a report from PFT (those *******s) that quarterback Tony Romo will miss 6-10 weekswith a broken bone in his back, coach Jason Garrett said Saturday that he won’t rule out Romo for Week One.

Regardless of whether Romo could play that soon (and there’s a very, very, very strong chance he won’t be able to), there’s no reason to rule him out now. The injury-reporting rules, as revised, don’t mandate the attachment of any label to Romo until Friday, September 9. Why should Garrett officially declare before then that Romo won’t play?

No need to rush it, let the Dak era start

He's probably just throwing it out their to make the giants prepare for 2 quarterbacks

Garrett didn't rule out Romo or Dez till the last minute last year when they were clearly injured, it's what coaches do to keep the opposing teams guessing.

Garrett is typically cryptic with news like this. Everybody that gets hurt is "day to day". Well, so is everybody that's not hurt. The bottom line is Romo is going to be checked and monitored every day. He may come back in two weeks, he may not come back at all (as sad as that is).

Guess we just have to wait and put all our faith in Dak Prescott. I'm already all in on this kid. And I'm not trying to be disrespectful to Romo; this is just the reality of the Cowboys right now. Sometimes you have to move on.

Ok, I'll rule it out for him.

 

[CouchCoach]

He didn't rule it out because Booger hasn't told him who will start yet.

Romo was ruled out very very early. It was known he was out while the game was still going.

 

[CapnB]

just heard about this a lil bit ago.... I'm sick. And I now hate everyone again

 

[DOUBLE WING]

Garrett and Jerry think they are really outsmarting everyone when they do stuff like this. Everyone knows there's not a chance Romo plays and it's actually insulting to insinuate otherwise.

this guy wouldnt be out for week 1 yet either

If that's T-will, he can still catch a football.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

I won't be suprised if Romo plays

 

[StarBoyz83]

Ummmmmmkay

That's not what Cowboys Docs are saying that's the media coming to conclusions.

Up to a point yeah.

The change the way teams report injuries though makes it much harder to pull off.

The Giants will know in mid-week if Romo is playing or not.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I won't be suprised if Romo plays

I wouldn't either.

Hey if he A. Can't hurt that area of the back more...

B. A shot numbs enough of the pain so he can play...

He'll at least give it a go.

 

[BAZ]

Jason Garret and his crazy mind games, keep em guessing coach. They won't know what to expect*

They will.

 

[Aven8]

Well Steve Spagnolo will just use the same game plan regardless, blitz the QB whether it's Tony or Dak!
