Romo back and throwing.

Romo throws in practice for 1st time since injury


IRVING, Texas -- For the first time since breaking his left collarbone on Sept. 20 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was taking part in practice.

Romo remains on the injured reserve/designated to return list and can't play until Nov. 22 against the Miami Dolphins, but Wednesday is the first day he was eligible to return to practice under league rules.

He took part in pat-and-go in warm-ups, worked through some individual drills and threw passes during the routes-on-air portion of practice.

While the remaining quarterbacks worked on handoffs with the running backs, Romo, who was in shoulder pads, worked through some throwing on the move with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan.

Romo threw a variety of routes to Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley, Vince Mayle,Devin Street and Jason Witten during the portion of practice that was open to the media and did not have an incompletion.

Man that's a beautiful picture. I need him to get Brady's thoughts though. He said last yr 5 more years. Brady says he is playing ten.

Why is Romo locked into a return date?

 

[es4m11]

Why is Romo locked into a return date?

Because the Cowboys are 0-5 without him?

Dallas isn't out of it yet, and the sooner Romo can get back the better.

 

[fordman84]

I wish we hadn't IR'd him. Give him one more week, then roll him out. A 50% romo is better than 100% anything else we got.

I mean he is not allowed to come back till 2 weeks.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

They put him on short term IR to save a roster spot. I think you can do it with one player. This keeps him out 8 weeks by rule. It's amazing what one roster spot must mean. I too thought like FORD and thought he would be ready a week earlier

 

[nutz6977]

I wish we hadn't IR'd him. Give him one more week, then roll him out. A 50% romo is better than 100% anything else we got.

I'm sure they thought we could at least win a game or two while Romo was out. And with all the other injuries I imagine that roster spot was important. Not sure anyone thought we would go winless in Romo's absence. But I didn't think Weeden and Cassel would look as bad as they have either.

 

[jarntt]

Romo is pretty old and fragile at this point. To expect him back within the normal range of what is expected for this injury would be a bonus. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure he is back when eligible.

If they are still in it in two weeks- he plays. If he wouldn't have went on IR he would have played this week. He is 35 .

 

[jarntt]

I don't think there is anyway he was going to play this week.

 

[es4m11]

I think Romo will be ready to play for Miami, sure sounds like he and the team wants him to be on the field ASAP - and with good reason. I'm concerned about putting him out on the field first game back against Suh. That guy is a dirty SOB and I doubt Suh would pass up many opportunities to hammer Romo.

Every game from here on out has become a must win. We need Romo back at all costs.

I don't know, I thought he would Take a shot at Brady but he didn't.
