FRISCO, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys will keep Tony Romo on their active roster, according to a source, in hopes that the quarterback can return sooner rather than later from a compression fracture in his back. Garrett says the team will evaluate Romo’s medical condition over the next 48-hours to determine whether or not he should stay on the active roster or on short-term injured reserve. If he’s placed on the injured reserve-return list, he’s ineligible for the first seven games of the season.

Pressed further about whether Romo could come back, maybe for the Eagles game on October 30th, Jones reiterated the fact that it’s an unknown as to how quickly Romo can heal, and that they are not creating any definitive deadlines or making any decisions now, except that he will likely remain on the roster. Carr hasn’t had an interception in more than two years, and Claiborne has just three picks in four seasons since Dallas moved up eight spots to get him in the top 10 of the 2012 draft. They host the Philadelphia Eagles on October 30. And now he’s without Romo again. “When you can teach it to somebody, that means you’re really starting to get it”.
