The Facts:
Romo looked fine throwing in pre-game warmups with his hand wrapped. The team originally believed the injury would sideline him a month, but held out hope Romo could play until game day. “He ended up making that decision for us, actually, and that’s the way it should have been,” owner Jerry Jones said. “He just felt like he couldn’t help us.”

According to Jones, Romo had problems while working out before the game during individual and team drills. Jones said it was to the point that if something did happen to Johnson, the Cowboys were likely going to go with third quarterback Brooks Bollinger over Romo. Jones said he didn’t know if Romo would play against the Bucs. He said it will be determined by Romo. The initial prognosis was for Romo to sit until the bye following the Nov. 1 showdown against the New York Giants.
