X-rays were taken Thursday, but they were inconclusive. Add to that the $8.5 million he is scheduled to make in 2016 – followed by $14 million in 2017 – and it’s a foregone conclusion that Romo will be back.

Coach Jason Garrett did not rule Romo out for the remainder of the season in his post game press conference and the Cowboys have more tests scheduled for tomorrow. “All hands on deck”.
Graham Gano kicked four field goals, including one from 50 yards, for Carolina who were playing on the US Thanksgiving holiday for the first time in franchise history.
There is still no official word from the Cowboys as of the middle of the fourth quarter, but Matt Cassel is in the game for Romo.
The passion should still be there, even after a blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers that puts the ‘Boys down to 3-8 with just one win on their own home turf.
Coleman intercepted Romo on the game’s third offensive play. They don’t play again until December 7 against the Washington Redskins, and players are off until Wednesday. On first down, cornerback Chris Culliver (South Carolina) broke up a pass for Greg Olsen, picked the ball out of the air and returned it 75 yards for a would-be touchdown, but Culliver was penalized for a helmet-to-helmet contact on Olsen.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to see Bryant being able to do that, and it isn’t like he’s received much help from No. 2 receiver Terrance Williams or the rest of his non-Romo teammates either.
Dallas quarterback Tony Romo completed 11 of 21 passes for 106 yards and three interceptions.
Garrett said the early stages of the game played to Carolina’s advantage. That’s part of it. I’m disappointed in costing our team a good chance to stay in the game early….
“The Panthers have jumped every obstacle in their path, though, including this “three-games-in-12-days” grouping”, Fowler wrote.
The Cowboys lost all seven games that Romo missed with a broken left collarbone before winning in his return at Miami last week.
Expectations were high for the Dallas Cowboys going into the season. But the Cowboys acquired him in a trade with the Bills because he was a better option than Brandon Weeden, who was subsequently cut and claimed by the Texans. That set the tone for Carolina’s victory.
Romo has only just returned from a broken collarbone but faces another spell on the sidelines after taking a big hit to the same area on a nightmare night for the 35-year-old. In a wild one between in-state rivals Texas and Texas Tech, the Red Raiders were holding on to a 3-point lead late in the game when they dug deep into their bag of tricks.
