Cowboys QB Tony Romo Won't Need Surgery On Broken Clavicle

A CT scan on Tuesday morning revealed Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will not need surgery for his broken left clavicle, multiple sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday. Romo will be sidelined six to eight weeks, with the longer time period more likely, sources said. It is possible that Romo will not play again this season since that timetable would not permit him to return to the lineup until mid-December. At that point, the Cowboys would probably be inclined to hold Romo out to avoid the potential of him re-injuring the shoulder, unless backup Jon Kitna puts the Cowboys in playoff contention during Romo's absence. The Cowboys are 1-5 for the first time since 1989, when owner/general manager Jerry Jones' first Dallas team finished 1-15.

They should just put him on IR.

They are not going anywhere.

 

Seriously what's the point with how the Boys are playing.

 

Surgery won't be performed because of the location of the injury.....impossible to insert screws and plates.

 

I meant they should put on the IR list

 

I knew what you meant dude.....

I was just posting an update from ESPN.

Classic scene......eace:

 

IR it up and think about your future.

 

I'd like to see what McGee has to offer. We're not going anywhere anyway, so why play yet another old QB. Remember Bledsoe and Brad Johnson?...it wasn't pretty.

 

I have never seen a broken clavicle be operated on and I see them on a nearly weekly basis.

I agree... throw in McGee....what have you got to lose.....other then more football games?

 

Meh. Whether he needs surgery or not, it doesn't matter. The season's already over with.
