When ESPN reported Tony Romo’s L1 vertebra fracture would be given a 6-10 week timetable, Jason Garrett remained committed to the day-to-day designation.

“I haven’t put a lot of thought into the future until I get well”, Earnhardt said.
Now the starting quarterback job falls now to the 135th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Mississippi State, Dak Prescott. It was the first time he had played in a game since breaking his collarbone during the 2015 season.
The Cowboys signed Mark Sanchez and waived Jameill Showers on Sunday in a swap of backup quarterbacks behind rookie starter Dak Prescott. “So I am positive that we are going to get Dale back to being a race vehicle driver”, Collins said.
The Giants win the division under new head coach Ben McAdoo with the help of a returning Victor Cruz. Instead, the story with the Cowboys is a second consecutive year in which they’ll be without their starting quarterback for a significant stretch and that does not bode well. They have not been top of the pile since 2011 when they won the Super Bowl, and Cruz has not played in two years, but when he was good, all that time ago, he was really good! McFadden has not practiced since June because of a fractured right elbow.
The structure of Sanchez’s contract sets him up as the team’s veteran insurance policy.
As for how it all relates to Sanchez, most of the possibilities are premature for a guy who has barely opened the playbook in Dallas.
The running back faces expectations that seem to grow daily, even though he missed most of training camp and took just 14 snaps in one preseason game – the same game in which Romo got hurt at Seattle.
Horton had spent the last three seasons with the Panthers, playing in 41 games with 17 starts. But they need to back up that experience with big plays.
The Chiefs announced a series of roster moves Saturday to reach the NFL’s limit of 53 players, though they actually have 54 on the active roster.

Along with Ioannidis, the Redskins released guard Josh LeRibeus, a 2012 third-round pick, and tight end Logan Paulsen, who has been with the team since 2010 but missed last season with an injury. While AT&T Stadium hasn’t provided an overwhelming home field advantage for the Cowboys, they have been able to come away with a win in both of these meetings with NY. And now he’s without Romo again. “Doesn’t mean that you don’t live in the reality of where it is”.
