Cowboys QB Romo not going on IR

The Dallas Cowboys is widely expected rookie Dak Prescott to take the starting quarterback job in the season opener as superstar Tony Romo will be sidelined for the first half of the 2016 National Football League regular season. Dallas signed former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez over the weekend after Sanchez was cut by the Broncos. Prescott will start his first National Football League game on Sunday against the New York Giants with Mark Sanchez as his backup. There is a pretty small chance that Mark Sanchez steals the job from Prescott, but the former needs to improve his skills set because even the defending champion were unimpressed with his play that the Broncos made a decision to released him. I don’t know that anybody is qualified to do that.

Jerry Jones doesn’t “want to rule out anything” when it comes to Tony Romo’s return.. Prescott has impressed this preseason, and while the Cowboys are high on him, Jones doesn’t plan on moving away from Romo anytime soon. “We learned that with Witten”. Jones and the team perhaps think Romo could return before that and thus seem content to deactivate him as game time approaches every week, rather than shut him down in full for eight weeks.

Jones said there’s no need to “circumcise the mosquito”, which is the idiosyncratic owner’s unique way of explaining that there isn’t a more valuable option to replace Romo on the Cowboys’ 53-man roster. So some of these kinds of things that have been around, these traditional healing times aren’t necessarily as bright lined as you might like them to be. “So we’ll be real liberal when we start evaluating when it is he’ll come back”.
