The Cowboys sure are playing up the mystery as to who will start on Sunday at QB. ESPN describes Romo as not doing much at today's practice, at least the part the press got to watch.
Tony Romo stood and watched, basically a spectator in the middle of the field when the Dallas Cowboys started practice Friday.
The DMN blog basically concurs with that assessment saying Romo dressed out but officially didn't practice.
On the other hand, Jerry Jones is going to great lengths to make the case that Romo could play on Sunday.
"It's very likely that he'll be ready to play," Jones said. "The question is, can he handle the pain?"
Is Jerry just throwing out a smokescreen to keep the Rams guessing? Jerry even went to far as to say there is no risk in further damaging the pinkie, which I found to be an absurd statement.
Anyway, what's your guess about Sunday? I think that Romo will not play and the Cowboys will go with Brad Johnson. I don't even want him to play this week, I'd rather let the finger heal for a couple of weeks and look at next weekend.
The injury report from the DMN blog. One big change, Pat Watkins will not play this Sunday. That's a bummer because we could sure use him back on special teams.
SS/core special teamer Pat Watkins (stinger) participated fully in every practice this week, but he has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Rams.
RB Felix Jones (hamstring), OG Kyle Kosier (foot), CB Terence Newman (abdomen) and OLB Anthony Spencer (hamstring) are also out. LB Kevin Burnett (calf) and QB Tony Romo (pinkie finger) are questionable. SS Keith Davis (thumb), SS Roy Williams (forearm) and NT Tank Johnson (ankle) are probable.

What is up with Watkins
I like him and I remember BP tried to correct his tackling form. Did he revert to his old form? Is that why he keeps getting stingers?
Romo shouldn’t play. The season rests on him playing well down the stretch, there is no reason for him to play the Rams (or even the Bucs) and risk making a minor injury bad enough to require surgery. Worst case scenario, just think if he suffers nerve damage to his finger during the procedure.
T-New, shutting down WR's for Dallas since 2003
Yay for the 2 Roys
I hope to see both Roy Williams play on Sunday. I know the Roy haters will disagree, but I think the Cowboys have missed him while he was out.
How Bout Them Cowboys!
Correct
you definitely saw it in in defense.
Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.

You can’t deny the difference in the D..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
although
the D had probably their best half all season for the first half against the cards. they held them to 30 something total yards and no points for 30 minutes. Then they lost it in the second half, but they did show they could be very tough even without Roy.
