FRISCO, Texas -- Soon, if not today, Tony Romo will be able to practice for the first time since suffering a compression fracture in his back on Aug. 25.
The CT scans and other testing continue to show nothing but positives for the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback. He has increased his rehab work in the past two weeks, including resistance training, and he has been throwing with more velocity.
“We’re getting closer,” offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said. “I don’t know the exact time, but we’re getting closer with him. I know that.”
Eventually, the Cowboys will have to decide whether they make Romo the starter or continue with rookie Dak Prescott, who has helped them to a 5-1 start.
