The VRR: MRI Negative on Tony Romo's Ankle

PrintGood news, indeed! Clarence Hill at the Star-T reports that quarterback Tony Romo's tweaked ankle is just that--tweaked.
Romo was injured in the third quarter of Sunday’s 34-21 season-opening victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He continued to play in the game, throwing for a career-high 353 yards and three touchdowns. Romo’s ankle was wrapped in ice after the game. He said he was going to be fine in post-game interviews. The Cowboys re-evaluated the injury today and decided to do an MRI. The negative result confirmed Romo’s initial prognosis.
Why wasn't running back Felix Jones more involved, you ask? Apparently, he was slowed down by a thigh bruise.
Jones wasn't 100 percent for most of Sunday's win in Tampa Bay. He suffered a thigh bruise during the first half. Jones had only two carries for zero yards in the second half and was replaced by Miles Austin on a kickoff return.
More VRR after the jump.
The Cowboys injury report lists OLB DeMarcus Ware as having sustained a head injury, while S Gerald Sensabaugh suffered bruised ribs. Mike Jenkins also fell victim to leg cramping and took a shot to the midsection in Sunday's game against the Bucs. Expect these guys back for the Sunday night game against the Giants.
As for the Giants, two of their offensive players will most likely be out this week when New York travels to Cowboys Stadium for Sunday Night Football. First-round WR Hakeem Nicks and backup RB Danny Ware both suffered injuries that may sideline them for a few weeks.
Nicks sprained his left foot in the fourth quarter of the Giants' 23-17 win over the Washington Redskins. He spent the final minutes of the game sitting on the sidelines with crutches at his side. The receiver caught two passes for 18 yards. Ware, the third back behind Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw, dislocated his left elbow returning the opening kickoff. He stood on the sidelines in the second half with his arm in a sling.
TE Jason Witten passed a career milestone on Sunday.
With 71 receiving yards Sunday, tight end Jason Witten became the sixth player in Cowboys history to reach 5,000 career receiving yards (5,006).
Even after being fined $100,000 for his comments regarding NFL revenue sharing, Jerry Jones is not apologetic.
"If my comments in Minnesota were viewed as being over the line, then so be it," he said. "The comments were made in an effort to assist a fellow NFL owner and his team's pursuit of bringing a new stadium to the fans of the Twin Cities. Having just completed the process of stadium construction, and knowing how much it means to an NFL market, this is something that I would do for any of my ownership partners. It just goes to show how intertwined labor issues are with the construction of new stadiums -- from a positive perspective."

explains Jones a bit & good to hear about Romo.
Now, on to the Giants. They will be a tough test.
Hope we don't get run out of our new stadium!
Brandon Jacobs and the Giants would love nothing more.
all the boys
need to do is watch the skins game from yesterday.
the middle of the gmen defense is wide open. and their secondary is banged up again.
witten will have a field day
the gmen are gong to put 8 in the box all day to stop the run and blitz the pass
play man to man on those receivers. all posession receivers no consistent speed.

That does explain
the lack of Felix in the 2nd half…but does not explain why they had Terence ‘M.A.S.H.’ Newman out there returning that punt. That bothered me…I wish they wouldn’t do it. Anyway, here’s hopin El Gato (and everybody else wearing a star on their helmet) stays off the injured list…. I’m really lookin forward to this Vagiants game…

I never

That's very good news....
For both my Fantasy team and the cowboys ; )
The Good The Bad and The UGLY
The Good………..well Garret and the BOYS seemed to figure it out and get the offensive rolling later in the game. Crayton, Austin, Williams, Witten and Bennet look like a formidable WR/TE combination. The three headed monster of Bash, Tash and Flash looked pretty good.
THE BAD……..a slow start against say a team like the Saints and you are going to be down by 21 before ROMO and the O get rolling? Garret still needs to figure out how to score TDs in the first and second quarter. Remember the PATS game two years ago…….we tried to make a game of it but when the D is TEEING off on your QB……..and you are down so much it changes your game plan. Those TEAMS that Garret was a 2nd and 3rd string QB on came out and dominated the first half and almost always seem to score on their first possesion of the 2nd half as well. Great 2nd half adjustments. The 2009 Cowboys need to figure out how to make HALF TIME ADJUSTMENTS in the first quarter.
The UGLY…………..Run Defense……….PASS RUSH…………..we seemed to be around LEFTWICH all day but didn’t register a single sack. Cadillac is a good run and the bucs OLINE was better than advertised………..but seriously what will McNabb and Westbrook or ELI and JACOBS or heck CAMPBELL AND PORTIS do to the boys if we don’t figure this out.
Dom Capers transitioned the Green Bay D into a 3-4 this year. Makes you wonder if Parcells messed up by not getting a Capers as a D Coordinator and sticking with Zimmer. Zimmer was a great DC especially with the talent he had but his learning curve and Parcells lack of DC experience………….The TUNA has long been on the O SIDE since moving upto Head coach even calling our plays until he let Payton do it. Mike Singletary has the SF 49ers looking tough and playing tough. HE is a no nonsense coach that ain’t taking no crap from Primadonnas and doesnt give a damn who says what or writes what. He will win a Super Bowl as a Coach, and Jerry had the chance to hire this guy as our HC. Dom Capers as DC……………Shanahan, Gruden, Dungy, Holmgrem…………all SUPER BOWL RING WEARING COACHES are unemployed this year…………….
Just saying…………are we going into battle with the best Generals Available leading the way? Well, I wish Wade all the luck in the world, I liked his Dad………and I do think Garret is a future HC in the league………..just not sure about facing Coughlin, Reid and Belichek. Coaching matters and we better have better D out of the BOYS if Wade is in charge………otherwise we arent going very far in Jan.
Ummm

We may not be who you think we are! We are so much more!
3 headed Monster? Which one are you talking about? The one I saw in Tampa wasn’t Bash, Tash, and Flash! It was Crayton, Williams, and Austin ( couldn’t think of any fancy names foe these 3 guys). But, I’m sure before the season is out Beans& Rice will be the dominate force in a victory. I’m sure much hyped RB trio will get theirs also.
Now we do need the line to open some holes and keep defenders off Romo; The defense also need to improve greatly and very quickly!
Dear Santa...
Please help the bills win tonight……It would help my suicide pool league and I love to see Belicheat defeated……..can you? pretty pelaseeeeeee

NE already gave up a sack, they missed a FG and Moss and Welker already hav drops……hmmm…….
nerves for sure, but if Bills can pull a shocker,
it would be great!
No sir
That cannot be. Apparently from reading the posts here that stuff only happens to the Cowboys and we could avoid it if we would just practice harder break up with girlfriends and game plan better…

well it only bothers us when its the cowboys….thats for sure.
Off topic--Roy (BENGAL) Williams
Love Roy Williams getting called out by Herm Edwards on NFL Live for giving up that fluke Brandon Stokley TD Sunday. Glad he is making those bonehead plays on another team this year. Wish it was for the Giants, but hey, I’ll take it.

If you watch the play again
Herm Edwards took us through it. Roy was looking to make the hit (it was way late, after the ball was tipped). If he would have kept his head up and watching the ball he would have been in position to make the tackle on Stokley.

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.
The way the 3 stooges
raved about Brady before kickoff…
let me guess
brady’s over rated, right? And if these ‘stooges’ were raving the same way about Romo, would you have a problem then?
Are you at all serious? You watch the Patriots’ first game back after the Cassel/Brady injury situation, and you’re b’ing that sportscasters are talking about the winningest QB in this decade who’s in his first game back after having a serious injury and a baby with a supermodel?
it's salient
it makes Brady even more likely to be discussed. It’s a valid topic that goes to make Tom Brady interesting to discuss. MNF isn’t a PhD seminar on Xs and Os, it’s a TV show.
Milestones-Witten well on his way to a career of 10,000 yards and first ballot
HoF.
Didn’t Gonzales hit 11, 000 this week?
Witten’s about 5-6 years behind him, 800+ a year-no problem. He doesn’t make the highlight-reel acrobatic catches, but enjoy your time watching this guy.
And with all the love for Bennett, I hope the team doesn’t lose sight of what Witten brings to the game, off as well as on the field. They should lock him as long as possible.
Regarding the HoF part
Don’t forget he’s a Cowboy, that’ll cost him a few years on the ballot

"We'll see." --Bill Parcells
I dont know if I should feel bad for T.O.
for not getting any balls thrown his way (other than a drop) or for Edwards for the bitchin about to come….
TO's one catch so far
came when the Bills ran a pick for him to get off the line…. He lso ha a drop that killed a drive, and all the Bills momentum to start the game
He'd look average with Roger Staubach in his prime tossing him the pigskin
TO is done, finished, stick a fork in him
Lifetime Cowboys Fan from the Swamps of Jersey
He looked pist he did not just get the ball for the last TD
When the camera showed him and Trent siting down on the bench after the TD he was pouting (if you have DVR play it back again).
This guy is unbelievable even when his team is winning his mad because he is not getting his touches and TD. I hated that about him last year.
I love that t.o. (me, i, mine, myself, etc) is gone!!!!
I will say it again.
Iiiiii love that he is GONE!!!!

i have noticed that Roy Williams has AWFUL body language....
and it was evident in the 1st half of the Bucs game…i am not comparing him to TO but i think that some people around here may change their opinion on the RW11 as the season goes on….the 66yd TD sure cured his problem on Sunday but stay tuned…………
RW doesn't bitch and moan like T.O.
I could care less about his body language, that means nothing, I only care what comes out of his mouth.
In Romo we Trust
I noticed his body language on that 66 yard TD reception!
It said screw you haters!
Good one
I thought his TD was the most aesthetically pleasing of the game.
My body language after that play consisted of jumping up and down while screaming “Go Roy go!”
So it begins...
by APerfectStar on Sep 15, 2009 4:36 PM CDT up reply actions
I disagree
RW isn’t the type to demand the ball and whine when he’s not getting it.
In Romo we Trust
Terry. I dont know if you have seen all of my recent posts
but I feel people will see that in their last year together Romo had more to do with TOs success than TO had to do with Romos. They only want to talk about TOs last 3 years numbers combined.
Now dont get me wrong, thank goodness TO was here in Romos 1st year. He was still great and that always help a young QB. He probably gave Romo confidence at a level that he might not of otherwise had. Year 3 Romo fluffed up TOs numbers.
KICK ASS every day!!!

i don't know - that's why i was asking "is it just me..." etc... i got in late, and just now tuned the
game in…..the reason i asked the question was, being that Buffalo was considered by all to be the little “bitch” coming into this game….and wasn’t given a snowball’s chance in hell of winning, i was shocked when i came in to the 3rd quarter score
i guess i thought i would be hearing more talk about how the Bills fought to stay in this game blah blah…but everything they were saying just seemed to be coming from the Pats perspective…“pats need to do this…” “pats need to do that” blah blah….

Romo appeared to make good audibles
and I like how he recovered from the 1st half timing that was just slightly off. His throws were caught right in stride in the 2nd half and he seemed to see the field really well. Anyone note how long the defense was on the field? With the quick scores (and a few short drives to then punt) it’s no wonder the defense struggled in that heat.Seemed like the defense played 3/4 of the game, though I know that can’t be true.
That late hit call
really bailed the Bills out.
The pats apparently don’t know how to stop a screen…..amazing.
and the wilfork call helped too
Still, NE gets the blame for not being well in the lead right now. They’ve dominated this game but haven’t put points on the board.

Raiders v Chargers
I just watched the worst “Official Review” in history.
why is there..
instant replay if an official can watch it for 5 minutes in slo-mo and still get it totally wrong?
Can you challenge an "official review"?
LOL maybe this really is a “throwback” game and they’re not really using video and slow-mo at all.
I was wondering the same thing.
Maybe they can create an interlocutory appeal rule.
Unlike the Eagles 3rd team QB, I don't have a dog in this fight,
But that was just wrong.
would be better
than watching somebody try to justify how that was “the correct call”
will be interesting to see
whether the raiders are actually decent this season, or the chargers are just not
Norv it a great OC. HC?
Wade on the other side of the ball.
Their D is certainly up to the task.
I’m not sold on the QB at all though. Cannon arm probably served him well in the high school/college ranks but the pros is a whole different result. His accuracy is lacking.
Oakland has some talent now...
Seymour is playing just amazing out there and they really are contesting every single play…
offensively, Russell is killing them.
yeah its amazing
they have so much talent, its hard to believe Russell was a first round draft pick
why???
He was a great college QB. He’s got the strongest arm I’ve ever seen and nobody else is close.
Accuracy and fundamentals can be taught.
we watching the same game?
this is his .. 3rd season now i think? it’s time for him to start learning if he’s going to learn

didn’t play in 3 seasons. wasn’t on the active game day roster once.
he was also undrafted

To compare teh #1 pick to Romo, an undrafted free agent from a D2 school who needed to rework much of his game is crazy.
It was a poor pick on the raiders part. You don’t draft a player #1 on potential
eh I never like college players I haven't heard of until their final college game
always reminds me of Leaf, a player no one nationally was hyping tell he lit up a bowl game. Seems like Russel got that experience.

awesome
watching russell run down the field making multiple blocks
agreed
I love the way oakland is playing, but i kinda doubt they’re gonna pull this off with such bad qb play.
chargers are playing poorly
and are being decimated injury wise, i can see the raiders pulling it off with their power running
I have a feeling it will end up like the Patriots game just did
Where the underdog makes a crucial last minute error to lose the game.
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!

Agreed at this point
For all the domination the score is still tied. One big play is all the Chargers need..
I know this Raiders D has played well
but tomlinson doesn’t look as good as he did two years ago. I think this may be the year guys like him, Westbrook and TO offiicially wear down
I think Westbrook will still play at a high level
but I dont think he plays more than 12 games this year

they're also playing the chargers backup OL
and yeah LT hasnt looked very good
thats another point
We saw a couple oline injuries derail the jags season a year ago, SD has already lost their center, probably for a long period of time
yeah they had a backup guard in
and he moved to center when the center went down .. so i’m thinking they have another backup guard in there
yeah my wife has gates
and her opponent has Kaeding and Tomlinson .. she started up by about 10 points, so its pretty close.
that...
was awesome! lol.
The one pass Russell has no problem making…
made me eat my words
i was saying they should have left grakowski(sp?) in
+1
wow

the nfl is a ton more fun
when the Raiders are competitive.
Whats funny is
When I saw the games for tonight I thought it was blow-out football both ways. Pats/Chargers doing the cake walk
yeah ditto
only reason i was watching was fantasy points .. two very entertaining games
exactly haha
same with me…
I planned on getting work done during these games, but they’ve been unexpectedly entertaining.
sproles
seems to me like a much more dangerous player than LT
At this point in their careers
yes

feels like watching the cowboys last year
the DBs playing 20 yards off the line inside the 20 .. wth
Pats and Chargers both come away with wins after being outplayed for most of the game
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
jeez
a little early for the hail mary….and holy cow russel has an arm
Drew Brees says
Prototypical size and arm strength are the most overrated factors in evaluating a potential QB.
after 6 TD and 358 yards he can say whatever the hell he wants....
and he would probably be right.
Anyone else noticed how much leaner Roy Williams looked
on his 66 yard play he looked like Larry Fitzgerald in the super bowl

He said he lost 15 llbs in the off season
and is now running at his 4.3 speed when he was a rookie.
In Romo we Trust
