Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been on fire this preseason and he will get his shot to play in the National Football League after Tony Romo suffered a broken bone in his back earlier this week. For now, Romo’s rehab will consist of rest and immobility, but Garrett will not rule him out of the September 11 season opener against the New York Giants.

Now, no one knows when they’ll get on the field together as Romo recovers from a compression fracture of his L1 vertebra that he suffered Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks. He didn’t play anymore, and said afterward that he was OK. Then he woke up on Friday morning and didn’t feel so good and (the back) stiffened up on him, and that’s when we did the MRI. Prescott has played well in the preseason, but the only other quarterback on the roster is Jameill Showers. “Tony has a broken bone in his back”. Garrett said the injury is not related to the surgeries Romo had in 2013.
Will Tony Romo be able to appear in the Cowboys first game of the season? Dak does have weapons on the offense in veteran Dez Bryant and Elliot, so a successful season out of Dallas is not all far fetched, besides, it is the NFC East in contention here.
“I don’t know if a number of snaps makes a difference if I’m ready or not”, said Prescott, who is 39 of 50 passing for 454 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in three preseason games. However, the Rams have named Case Keenum as their eventual starter and the quarterback situation is all but figured out; so who has really impressed this preseason?

He played in only four games in 2015, twice breaking his collarbone and the Cowboys finished 4-12. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback was taken out during a preseason game on August 25 and fans feared he had suffered a nasty injury. “When Kellen Moore went down, Dak got more reps”. He’s driven to help Dak win football games for us so that when he gets back that we have a great chance to have a great season, get in the tournament and contend for a championship. We are going to game plan the right way. Since the move up the depth chart, he has taken numerous first-team reps in practices while Romo has sat out to rest. His average draft position of 12th overall is still too high for a player we just are not certain can produce without his starting quarterback.
