Nearly every source that knows anything about Romo’s back injury states that he will he out approximately 6-to-10 weeks?

Now Romo has a broken bone in his back – his fourth back injury in less than four years – and no timetable for a return.
Quarterback Tony Romo is hurt again, and his favorite tight end is here to tell you the Cowboys can make it work without him. It also means that with the heavy running game expected this season, you can add in some read option plays which will open things up for the running backs while keeping defenses on their heels. “It ain’t even just with the backup quarterback”.
“I’m sure it’s not how he wants to become the opening-day starter, but knowing a guy like Dak, he’s going to be 100 percent prepared for that moment”, Mullen said. In his three-year career, Tebow started 14 games and had 2,422 yards. The rest of the Cowboys’ offense is so good that anything better than bad quarterback play makes it above average. He suddenly finds himself in line to start their opener as a rookie quarterback with Tony Romo sidelined by yet another back injury.
The Dallas Cowboys tried to soothe everyone’s fears in the immediate aftermath of last Thursday’s 27-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. This time, a fracture to his back only forced the quarterback to stay out for one full game and he ended up returning in Week 10.
“He is undeterred, and he really believes that this team does have a different mindset with him not being here and that we can win games and when he does get back, he’s ready to make a run”.
“When Tony didn’t practice during training camp, Dak got a lot of time with the starters”, receiver Cole Beasley said.
But what if Dak guides this team to break-even, or even has them sitting at 5-3 when Romo is ready to return?
But it has nothing to do with the gaudy stats – 454 yards passing with five touchdowns and no interceptions – Prescott has compiled in his first three preseason games and everything to do with his demeanor and attitude. “I don’t know if he thought it was going to happen this soon”. CBS Sports reports that Romo is still the starting quarterback, though. “4 to 6 weeks…6 to 8?”
While Jones still showed support for Romo, the comparison to the Patriots is intriguing. “We like what we’ve got behind Tony now”. Keep in mind that Tom Brady was once relatively unknown and was taken in the seventh round.

Prescott, 23, was the eighth quarterback taken in the 2016 National Football League draft with the 135th overall pick. Of course he comes across as a hater to many people because it is well known by everyone that watches First Take that Steven A Smith is not too fond of the Cowboys.
