The Cowboys are expected to place special importance on a reserve quarterback after injuries in 2015.

As ludicrous as it sounds, it would be fun to see Favre backing up Romo – even just for a game or two. The Cowboys signed him to a two-year deal in the offseason as a free agent after a four-year run with the Washington Redskins in which he posted three 1,000-yard seasons.
“We’ll be very conservative with that in terms of how he feels”, Jones said of the 21-year-old Elliott.
Dak Prescott said, “I think it’s good for me to come in, look those guys in the eyes in the huddle, get that confidence going”.
Moore, 27, was slated to be Tony Romo’s backup this season, and his injury obviously creates a huge hole in the depth chart.
The Cowboys consistently professed their faith in Kellen Moore, but when he suffered a broken fibula Tuesday, they were left scrambling again. While the Dallas Cowboys’ schedule is lighter than it was a year ago, the team still needs someone talented to step up if another Tony Romo injury takes him out of play. During a seven-on-seven drill, Showers completed most of his passes.
Garrett said he was not sure when Wilson will return to the team.
At this time all hope is either that the practice squad QB or the rookie can fill the gap if called upon. In my opinion, Romo is the most underrated player in team history and has all the ability in the world to lead this team to their next Super Bowl.
Falcons cut LB being investigated for sexual assault: The Atlanta Falcons cut rookie free agent linebacker Torrey Green on Thursday amid news that Utah law enforcement authorities were investigating allegations of sexual assault made against Green while he was a student at Utah State past year. “He just needs experience playing at this level”.
“Your heart hurts for him”, Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said.
Dallas is rumored to have interest in free agent quarterback Josh Freeman. Prescott will still be taking snaps as the No. 2 quarterback if nothing changes for the Cowboys.
Meanwhile, Prescott also got a chance to work with the first-team offense this week. With Romo getting the day off Thursday at camp in Oxnard, Prescott got the first-team reps in the morning walk-through and the full practice.
