Romo Exits Seahawks Game With Apparent Back Injury; Not Feared To Be Serious

SEATTLE – Cowboys coach Jason Garrett did what he could to ease concerns about Tony Romo’s health at halftime on Thursday night.

Romo’s night ended after just three plays against the Seahawks, when he appeared to hurt his back – thought Garrett said it doesn’t seem to be a serious problem.

“His back was bothering him a little bit after that play,” Garrett said. “We don’t think it’s a serious thing, and we just felt better keeping him out.”

On a 2nd-and-7 on the game’s opening possession, Romo scrambled to his left out of the pocket and was dragged down from behind by Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril.
