Romo has broken bone in back; out 6-10 weeks ** Mega Thread **

[Aven8]

Imagine how much would this suck had we not drafted Prescott. We probably would have Foles starting week one.

 

[Stash]

Exactly.....he can go on the IR and come back after 6 weeks(one player per team can do this) but it is not the PUP......teams had to designate a player to return last year but they changed it so anyone on the IR can be the one player to return

Now there's someone who knows what he's talking about.

But I doubt Floaty will have the class to admit being wrong.

If Dak Prescott has a Russell Wilson-like rookie season, Romo gets a huge assist.

True... Hopefully Romo gets "Wally Pipp'd" and Dak sets the world on fire but I'm expecting 3-4 wins in 8 weeks. So if we are 3-5 and Tony comes back and goes 6-2... We can still make the playoffs.

PS: retire Tony!!!!!!

Jerry has already said that they're going to look for a veteran QB. But, who's out there that's halfway decent?

Sanchez in Denver? He might get cut. Could get him for a 6th or 7th rounder

This is starting to play out like a football movie. 4th round pick 3rd on depth chart, backup gets injured. Team goes after Foles, but gets shunned. He plays well. Then better and better. Starter gets hurt and suddenly he's the starter!

Jerry Productions, coming to a stadium near you!

Sometimes its better to be lucky than good.....and we need some good luck

Hopefully Tweedledum and Tweedledee will stop with the 'we think Tony can play another five years for us' nonsense.

Physically unable to perform (PUP) is a designation used in the National Football League for players who suffer from football-related injuries during the preseason. Players on the PUP list may participate in team meetings, and take advantage of the training and medical facilities, but cannot practice with the team.

There are two separate PUP lists: a preseason PUP list and a regular-season PUP list.

Preseason PUP
A player who, as a result of football-related injuries, is unable to take part in training camp practices may be assigned to the preseason PUP list. Players can be moved off the PUP list to the active roster at any time, even after one practice. A player cannot be placed on the PUP list, however, once he has taken the field for a practice, even if only for a few minutes.

Regular-season PUP
A player who finishes the preseason still on the PUP list can then be placed on the regular-season PUP list. Such players must sit out the first six weeks of the regular season. At that point, teams have a five-week window in which to allow the player to begin practicing; from the day the player begins practicing, teams have an additional 21-day window in which to decide whether to activate the player to the 53-man roster. If either of those deadlines pass, the player must remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season.[1]

And your boy qualifies under neither of these conditions. He practiced in training camp.

We can only hope. Nobody but those two knuckleheads ever believed it in the first place.

 

[DIAF]

Like it or not, Foles would probably be a better play than Dak. Dak looks great now, but once real bullets start flying and he isn't in the shotgun 100% of the time and is facing live regular season NFL defenses i'm not expecting much. Would 10x rather have Foles out there. Rookie QBs, man.

you quoted it yourself.....he can't go on PUP.....he practiced the whole camp

Showers just made the team...he might have to play the whole game Thurs...

Doesn't look good for 5 RBs or 9 OL

 

[Sportsbabe]

As per jjt no timetable yet

Omg omg omg!!

 

[percyhoward]

Would 10x rather have Foles out there.

He could get benched three years in a row on three different teams.
