Whether or not Brandon Weeden can facilitate that, we’ll have to wait and see.
The Cowboys traded for the 33-year-old Cassel a few hours after putting Romo on the injured list with a designation to return.
Under the injured reserve rules, Romo will not be able to practice for six weeks, though it’s unlikely he would have been cleared to do so anyway. Romo will stay engaged in the process even though he can’t play. “Collarbones take a little longer sometimes, but sometimes you can get back quicker”. “Certainly we’ll do the best thing for him and where he’s at”. Tebow was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles before the start of the season because “he is not good enough to be the third string quarterback“, according to coach Chip Kelly.
Bryant left the Cowboys’ Week 1 victory with a fractured right foot and has surgery two days later. However, the time frame for his return would not have changed. Romo returned with his left arm in a sling.
Next up for Philadelphia is a game at the New York Jets.
Josh Huff said that when he lined up near Dallas sideline, there were times when he heard Cowboys calling out Eagles plays pre-snap.
The Cowboys are attempting to rally behind backup quarterback Brandon Weeden, who has a career 5-16 record as an National Football League starter.
Bradford has been below-average in his first two games and could hardly be considered an upgrade from what Nick Foles did last season.
Besides, the Eagles were in a two-game funk last season in Games 3 and 4, against Washington and San Francisco. Abbott has provided a profound wisdom to the Cowboys of who will be playing at the quarterback while Romo is in the process of healing. You can get them off the street. So he has to continue to do that. “He’s more and more comfortable in our system”.
Dallas acquires Cassel from Buffalo, also promotes former Prosser High and Boise State standout Kellen Moore from practice squad.

“We’re going to evaluate everybody”, Kelly said. Both of these are key reasons why he is now comfortable in what the Cowboys are asking him to do. I know we have a good team. “So if there is a viable option out there, we’ll explore it”.
