More NFL Videos IRVING, TEXAS (TICKER) —Tony Romo evidently will not be around to help the Dallas Cowboys recover from a painful loss.

According to multiple reports, Romo has a broken pinkie finger - an injury that will sideline the Pro Bowl quarterback for four weeks.

The injury first was reported Monday morning by ESPN, which cited an anonymous team source. The NFL Network reported that Romo currently is being examined by team doctors.

The Cowboys could not be reached for comment.

Romo suffered the injury during Sunday’s 30-24 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals and originally was diagnosed with a sprained pinkie. The two-time Pro Bowler was harassed by Arizona’s pass rush throughout the contest and appeared to favor his throwing hand during Dallas’ overtime possession.

Romo has passed for 1,689 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns this season for the high-powered Cowboys (4-2), who have lost two of their last three games.

If Monday’s reports are accurate, Dallas will use veteran Brad Johnson under center for at least its next three games.

The Cowboys visit St. Louis next week before hosting Tampa Bay on October 26. After a road game against the rival New York Giants, the Cowboys have a bye in Week 10.

It's Jessica's fault, right?

I was wondering why he didn't show much emotion when the Cowboys tied it...

Who is their backup QB?

Brad Johnson

calling.....Dante.....calling.....dante

No, you DON'T want Dante.

Really, you don't.



On second thought, they can have him. I despise the Cowboys and have ever since I started watching the NFL.

Cowboy fan here

It won't be so bad...face it, Tony is not playing well lately, lots of fumbles and overall underachieving offense.

Brad Johnson is a good QB who throws a nice deep ball...T.O. will be happy and Brad will use the speed of Miles Austin and Patrick Crayton nicely.

Actually, I think the timing was perfect for this change...

I just hope there's no QB controversy when Tony is healthy again.

The key to Brad Johnson being successful is to feed Marion Barber the ball all damn day. You don't want Brad throwing the ball more than 20 times a game. The O-line must open up holes for barber because if you have to rely on Brad throwing the ball 30 or more times it's gonna be a long day for the cowboys.
Brad's last stint with the vikings looked stank as shit.

Brad Johnson is old and was never mobile even when he was young. With the line ineffectively protecting the QB I predict he'll be on his back a lot. We's in TROUBLE!

Eli Manning....1 super bowl ring

Tony Romo.....1 broken finger. it's all jessica's fault.

I don't believe that was totally his fault, though.

Childress came in and wanted his own special type of offense, and NO ONE on the offensive side seemed to be able to adjust to it gracefully. Heck, I'm still not sold on Chilly's offense. Brad would have done decent here if Tice or even Green had still been the head coach. I don't think Brad would ever come back to MN again unless the coaching staff had been replaced because there's some bad blood there.

According to WFAN, Cowboys traded some draft picks for Lions WR Roy Williams.

I heard that too. He'll be coming back home. I loved him when he played for UT. And when the other Roy Williams comes back that will be too

That's more like it.

uPtoWnNY said:

Plaxico, Santana Moss & Desean Jackson will be VERY happy to see Roy in the secondary.
