Tony Romo is active for the first time in almost a year, and he's the Dallas Cowboys' backup quarterback for the first time in 10 years.
Romo, who broke a bone in his back in a preseason game, was on the active roster Sunday against Baltimore. He's the No. 2 behind surprising rookie Dak Prescott, who is trying to lead the Cowboys to a franchise season record ninth straight victory. Romo was listed as questionable following his second full week of practice.
The 36-year-old Romo, who replaced Drew Bledsoe as the starter in 2006, missed 12 games last year with a twice-broken left collarbone.
