X-rays on the shoulder revealed the broken collarbone.

ESPN said Romo sustained the injury during the third quarter of the game at the Lincoln Financial Field after a sack by Eagles linebacker Jordan Hicks. The only way these situations work is if everybody else does a little bit more, and the backup can drive the bus without shooting the tires, blowing up the engine and running it into the Trinity River. It is what it is. The team confirmed the diagnosis and made the news official during the game. I think that even though we didn’t get a ton of reps during the live games. The fractured left clavicle will undergo a Connecticut scan tomorrow and we’ll have more confirmed details then. Romo returned with his left arm in a sling. He said the Cowboys weren’t doing anything new but the Eagles “just didn’t block them”.
“I’ll be back… It’s going to take a little bit of time”.
It’s another serious injury blow for the Cowboys, who expect wide receiver Dez Bryant to be sidelined until late October after breaking his foot last week in their season-opening win. They did it with overpowering defenses, and based on the first two games of the season, Dallas may have one of those in the making.
Initial reports indicated that Romo could be out for up to 10 weeks, but Cowboys coach Jason Garrett declined to confirm a timetable, knowing that such injury could be season-ending for any player.
The victory ensures Dallas (2-0) maintain their unbeaten start and take a two-game lead over the Eagles (0-2) in the NFC East. Sure maybe Tebow isn’t the answer, but I can assure you Brandon Weeden ain’t either.
The third member of Dallas’ star-filled trio on offense last season, running back DeMarco Murray, is no longer with the Cowboys at all, having joined the Eagles as a free agent.
For the second straight week Jones ran rampant against a defensive secondary as he hauled in 13 passes, tying a team record, for 135 yards en route to a 24-20 victory over the New York Giants last week.
Beside the injuries and the replacements on the offensive side of the ball, the Cowboys defense dominated the Eagles – holding the Philly offense to 226 yards and shutting down former Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray – holding him to only 7 rushing yards. “And the National Football League is really about adversity and how you handle it”.
He’s been a bust so far for the 0-2 Eagles. All I’m anxious about is winning. He also added that the team has to find a way to get the job done.

So while it’s possible head coach Chip Kelly severely overestimated himself and the Eagles are simply terrible , the silver lining is there are 14 more games.
