IRVING, Texas – Officially, Tony Romo is allowed to return to the practice field next week, but it’s not like he’s actually been gone.
Take it from offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, who said he feels like he’s had an assistant these last five weeks while Romo has been injured.
“He’s kind of like the assistant offensive coordinator at times, which, he has some great ideas,” Linehan joked. “I told him if he keeps coming up with ideas, I’m going to hand him that microphone and I’ll let him start calling plays so he can see how, when he calls those third downs when they don’t work, see how that feels.
