Last week, Romo fractured his back in a preseason contest versus the Seattle Seahawks and he is expected to be out for weeks. Heading into the 2016 season, several teams are vying as the best in the league, but after their showing a year ago, Carolina has to be on top. A 3-3 start (or, really, even 2-4) would have the Cowboys still in-line to make a postseason run once Romo comes back.

Prescott grew up rooting for the Dallas Cowboys in Louisiana and suddenly finds himself in line to start their opener as a rookie quarterback with Tony Romo sidelined by yet another back injury. Again, the initial thought was that he could return after the bye for the game against the Philadelphia Eagles Oct. 30, meaning he would miss the first six games.
“People are going to bet against him, that’s fine, and I don’t think that’s unfair to do so”, Witten said. “I just want to be helpful to him”, said Frederick.
For now, rookie Dak Prescott looks poised to steer the ship.
Prescott has aced almost every test the preseason could offer, but as the stakes rise, so will the complexity of the defenses he will face, not to mention the speed of the game.
The only other quarterback on the Cowboys’ roster right now is second-year player Jameill Showers. “And I think he’s ready for it”.
What this means for the Redskins: The Giants are hoping that Cruz can come back healthy and bolster a passing attack that has heavily relied on Odell Beckham Jr. Or, if no setbacks, the Cowboys later have a two-game homestand against Baltimore and Washington. “He goes in there and he plays with poise and composure and does a good job executing his job and moving the team and helping us score points”. Dak said it Sunday – this is still Romo’s team. “We didn’t play well”.
Last year, Davis played three games with Cleveland and passed for 547 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions.
In football we always say it’s the next man up, because the game doesn’t stop for injuries. “You build a team to withstand this kind of stuff”.
It seems that Tony Romo has been plagued with health issues since 2013 when he suffered a herniated disc in his back during Week 16 and required surgery.

The broken ribs and punctured lung don’t count because he didn’t miss a game, returning in a come-from-behind win at San Francisco and playing eight days later in a home win on a Monday night against Washington in 2011. “Nothing really changes. I just gotta continue to do that and make sure I don’t slack up or be lazy and just stay focused”.
