When the Dallas Cowboys lost starting quarterback Tony Romo for possibly eight to 10 weeks with a fractured back, it was initially described as a punch to the gut.

“The fact that he’s young and he’s a rookie is pretty interesting, because you don’t have that happen very often”, Linehan said. “Hoping for a speedy recovery so he can get back real soon”.
“I don’t know that it’s taken for granted with the staff, but for the coaching staff and the organization to know that, hey, Eli Manning is going to be here week in and week out is impressive and it goes beyond just being tough”.
FRISCO, Texas (AP) – While Mark Sanchez has a new offense to learn in Dallas, the veteran quarterback sees another important element of his role in his first week as the backup with Dak Prescott preparing for the opener against the New York Giants. That puts rookie Dak Prescott under the spotlight and another rookie, Ezekiel Elliott, will line up behind him at running back.
The Dallas Cowboys will give Tony Romo the chance to return within the first two months of the regular season.
“Maybe things didn’t go perfectly as planned, but I’m here for a reason”, said Sanchez, who has 72 starts and 37 wins in 75 career games.
Tony Romo broke his back in a preseason game against the Seahawks on August 25.
With Prescott only twenty-three and Elliott twenty-one the Cowboys may have secured two cornerstone pieces of a franchise in the same draft and nearly back their way into the selections.
We all know about the injury to Tony Romo.
“On the other hand, I didn’t expect Dak to come in and have the kind of offseason he had and build the kind of confidence he’s done with the staff and with his teammates”. “At the same time, a lot of veteran guys. will get him well prepared”.
“Mark is very excited to join one of the flagship organizations in the National Football League”, said Andrew Kessler, Sanchez’s agent.
“I don’t want to rule out anything”, Jones said on his radio show. “You look at the stars for the Pro Bowls on some of these lockers that I will be out there on the field with”.
Sanchez, the fifth overall pick in 2009 by the New York Jets, played in AFC championship games his first two years in the NFL.
The New York Giants had a 6-10 win-loss record last season partially due to their defense, which gave up the most yards in the league.
“I will say this – we’ve seen some things in camp that we like from our defensive linemen”, Jones said.

He’s handled everything so far. During three partial games, Prescott completed 78 percent of his passes for 454 yards and five touchdowns.
