The Dallas Cowboys are preparing to open the preseason minus the services of quarterback Tony Romo.
|
Multiple sources told Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com that Romo won't play in Sunday's Hall of Fame Game against the Miami Dolphins.
Romo hasn't missed a practice during training camp after surgery in April to remove a cyst from his back. The Cowboys starter expressed hope Monday in suiting up against Miami, but said he'd go along with whatever coach Jason Garrett decided.
It's no surprise Dallas would take its time dipping Romo into action. The Cowboys have five preseason games this summer, so there's plenty of chances for snaps. Dallas plays the Oakland Raiders in its second preseason game Aug. 9. It's a good bet we'll get our first taste of Tony next Friday.
