Dallas (3-8) were 0-7 with Romo out of the lineup.

Jerry Jones was asked Friday about the risk of bringing Romo back too soon from the previous collarbone fracture. After returning from the original broken collarbone – which occurred at Philadelphia in Week 2 – Romo threw a combined five interceptions against the Miami Dolphins and Panthers.
Luke Kuechly and Kurt Coleman returned two of Romo’s three interceptions for touchdowns, and Newton ran for the Panthers’ only offensive score as they pushed their NFL-best winning streak to 15 regular-season games Thursday.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo (9) is helped off the field by team staff after suffering an unknown injury in the second half of a game against the Carolina Panthers Nov. 26, 2015, in Arlington, Texas. “They were slower. I have to go look at the mechanics part of it, but I just feel physically that my natural instinct is just how it feels”.
The concern in recent seasons has been Romo’s back.
Romo was sacked at the end of the third quarter of Thursday’s game, landing hard on his left shoulder.
Dallas Cowboys star quarterback Tony Romo is injured once again and now could be out for the entire season.
Romo managed to start only four games, his lowest total since he became the starting quarterback midway through the 2006 season.
It’d be the only time Romo went there. “He’s not quite cleared the concussion protocol and unless we get good news tomorrow, then Nick will be our starter”.
I understand why Jones and the Cowboys did it, but the potential cost for a very (slim) chance at making a run (through a pretty touch schedule) outweighs the benefits of getting back to the playoffs. The Carolina loss was his first of the season. “I’m just disappointed I wasn’t able to play better”.
“We wouldn’t let Tony play if he wasn’t ready to play physically”, Garrett said.
Romo had previously broken the same bone back in Week 2 against the Eagles, and he’d returned from that injury just one week earlier after spending eight weeks on injured reserve with a designation to return. “You shouldn’t ever quit trying to do something extraordinary”.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – DeMarcus Ware’s lower back injury will keep him out of Sunday night’s showdown between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots. If he can’t play, rookie Max Garcia will make his first National Football League start in his place.

Carolina quarterback Cam Newton turned in a stellar performance, connecting on 16 of 27 passes for 183 yards and rushed for 45 yards and a touchdown.
