The Cowboys are working out quarterbacks Christian Ponder, Matt Flynn, Josh Johnson and McLeod Bethel-Thompson today. If he goes on the injured list with the option of returning, the visit to the Dolphins would be the first possible return date. Romo is expected to miss eight games due to the injury. Romo will stay engaged in the process even though he can’t play. Garrett said the team does not have immediate plans to sign another quarterback, but it could be a possibility.

While coach John Fox said Monday that tests showed no major damage, Cutler’s status for this week and beyond remains in question. Romo will not have surgery to fix the collarbone.
The Vikings announced Monday that they have not been able to reach a new contract agreement with Joe Juranitch, the man who played Ragnar for the last 21 years. A team can use the designation on only one player. At the time, the Cowboys were 5-9 and out of contention.
“There is pressure on everyone in this organization”, said Brandon Weeden, the backup responsible for keeping the Cowboys afloat while their four-time Pro Bowl quarterback is out.
Brandon Weeden replaced Romo against the Eagles and threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Williams in the fourth quarter. Despite that, in 45 games, 28 starts, he recorded 299 tackles, 24 for a loss, with six sacks and two interceptions. Yes, that was a few years ago, but the man is capable of magic every time he takes the field.
The Eagles gained just seven yards running the football against the Dallas Cowboys, with star running back DeMarco Murray rushing for two yards in the game.
“The personnel is good enough, but the execution isn’t good enough”, Kelly said.
When he was asked by reporters after the game on Sunday if he’s confident they have the right guys on the team, Kelly seemed a little less sure than he did at the beginning of the season.
“The players around him have confidence in him”. He does his job.
This is why it’s absolutely absurd for anyone to think that Jerry Jones should go out and trade for someone like a Robert Griffin III to run this team until Romo’s return. You can get them off of other people’s practice squads.
“Yeah, we don’t live in those worlds of expectation of performance, ” Garrett said. Both of these are key reasons why he is now comfortable in what the Cowboys are asking him to do.
