Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will miss the rest of the season due to a back injury, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Brad Mills/USA TODAY SportsTony Romo overcame a back injury Sunday to rally the Cowboys past the Redskins, but he will not be able to play the rest of the season, a source said.

The Cowboys (8-7) host the Philadelphia Eagles (9-6) on Sunday with the winner capturing the NFC East title. Kyle Orton likely will now get the start against the Eagles.

Romo said Sunday he would undergo an MRI on his back Monday, but he didn't believe it would jeopardize his availability for the game against Philadelphia.

Romo said his back, which was sore coming into Sunday's victory over the Washington Redskins, troubled him after a hit in the first half.

"That triggered it a little bit," Romo said Sunday. "Whatever the kid did on that one play, it really sent something that didn't feel comfortable.

"But it's in a completely different spot than the back stuff I had last year, so that's a good sign."

Romo had surgery in April to remove a cyst from his back and did not take a snap until the team reached training camp in Oxnard, Calif., in July.

Romo was noticeably limping as he carried out play fakes on running plays. In the fourth quarter, he appeared to be in trouble even more after spinning free from the pocket on a third-down throw to Miles Austin. Romo appeared to kick the back of his leg as he escaped trouble, but he did not miss a snap.

Romo completed 17 of 27 passes for 226 yards, including the game-winning touchdown to DeMarco Murray on fourth-and-goal from the Washington 10 with 1:08 to play.

Romo has dealt with numerous injuries over the years, including a broken rib in 2011. He hurt his ribs again in last year's season-ending loss to the Redskins.

I don't know how to feel right now...

This is a curse right? We're clearly operating under the hold of a curse caused by Jerry, right?






2280196, If Orton and Dallas win...

...will the story be "Without Romo, Dallas wouldn't even be in this position?" or "Without Romo, Dallas wouldn't even BE in this position"
2280199, thats actually what i want now...kills two birds...

--The "Romo would have f'd this up" storyline

--The "Garrett is a hell of a coach" narrative

-- and the eagles snatch defeat from the jaws of victory plotline.

im positively rapt.....positively rapt

we're gonna get dismantled. We'll see how much Tony covers for this team's flaws. too bad he gutted it out long enough to save Garrett's job.
2280204, yeah this game looks ripe for shenanigans.
