Practice Update: Wednesday Off Day Reinstated For Romo; Hitchens Returns

IRVING, Texas – Romo Wednesdays are back in effect at Valley Ranch – for Week 1, at the very least.

The Cowboys held their first practice in advance of the season opener on a rainy morning at their team facility, and they were without their starting quarterback in a familiar throwback to last fall.

Tony Romo will not practice today,” said Cowboys coach Jason Garrett. “He was involved in the walkthrough, but for this week we’re going to do the schedule we did for most of last year, which was he didn’t practice Wednesday, and then we get back into the mode again on Thursday.
