(Reuters) - Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will not require surgery on his fractured left collarbone and is expected to miss about eight weeks of the National Football League season.

The four-times Pro Bowl quarterback, who suffered the injury after being sacked in the third quarter of the Cowboys' Week Two victory over the division rival Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, was evaluated on Monday.

"No surgery needed ... See you soon," Romo, who suffered a similar injury in Week Seven of the 2010 NFL season and missed the rest of the campaign, tweeted.
