When Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo injured his throwing hand two weeks ago against the Arizona Cardinals, it was anticipated he would miss up to one month of playing time. Surprisingly, Tony had thoughts of returning from that hand injury last week against the St. Louis Rams. It didn’t happen and the Cowboys were routed. Now it looks like we’re back to the original plan. On Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens’ radio show (I bet that’s really something to listen to) tonight, Tony said he won’t play this Sunday against Tampa:
“I’ll say it will be Brad (Johnson). Brad is going to go this week, unless something different happens that we don’t foresee. It will be very difficult to change. It took a long time to come up what the trainers did (a brace for the finger) and it was awesome what they did. But we will go back to the drawing board and see what we can come up with — and it is what it is and right now. We’re going to rally around Brad and hopefully we can get two wins out of this and go into the bye and get everyone healthy and go on from there.”
Yeah, right. The Cowboys are screwed. And it sounds like Tony is going to miss two more games. This team is going to have to hope for one heck of a second half run. The 2008 season might not be working out the way they had planned, but it’s still possible the Cowboys can come out of this mess with the end result they were ultimately hoping for.
