Romo injured, Prescott elevated to Cowboys starter

However, the Rams have named Case Keenum as their eventual starter and the quarterback situation is all but figured out; so who has really impressed this preseason?

“If that question was asked amongst myself – because I know how much I love the game”.

“We’re going to monitor his condition day by day and we’ll see how he feels going forward”, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said, via the Cowboys’ team website. “And I think he’s ready for it”. Who knows? Maybe Dak plays as great as he has in the preseason, and we may see a similar situation with the Cowboys, that we saw with the Denver Broncos going with Brock Osweiler over Peyton Manning previous year. A source says Romo’s most likely return is the October 30 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, putting him out for the first six games of the season.

After the game, Romo said he felt fine and was even more confident his back could withstand a hit like the one he took from defensive end Cliff Avril. Sunday is the first full practice day for the Cowboys since Romo got hurt. The current No. 2 is Jameill Showers, a second-year player who hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game. This is where I’m supposed to be.

An MRI revealed that Tony Romo fractured a vertebra in his lower back during the team’s preseason loss to Seattle on Thursday.

The next question is whether Prescott plays in the preseason finale against Houston on Thursday night.

Bryant, though, believes Romo will recover from his latest back injury and eventually return to his customary position.

If rookie quarterback Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys is short on anything, it isn’t confidence. He eventually walked off with the help of the training staff and tried to reenter the game, but Garrett opted to play Dak Prescott. The four-time Pro Bowler holds numerous Cowboys individual records, but has been a lightning rod in recent years because of his inability to stay healthy.

Prescott has been superb in the Cowboys’ three preseason games, completing 39 of 50 passes for 454 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions and two rushing touchdowns. We are going to game plan the right way. “And I’m going to be focused”.
