Romo (collarbone) was placed on the IR/designated-to-return list Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas reports.

Romo has opted to avoid surgery in his recovery from a broken left clavicle, which is slated to require 8-to-10 weeks to heal fully. Now that he resides on short-term injured reserve, though, he'll miss at least eight weeks, or seven games of the current schedule, with his first potential return date arriving Nov. 22 at Miami. While he can return to practice as early as preparation for the Cowboys' last regular season matchup against the Eagles in Week 9, Brandon Weeden will operate under center in the meantime, likely without Dez Bryant (foot) for most, if not all, of that run.

Romo will not require surgery to repair his broken collarbone, but is still expected to miss about eight weeks, NFL.com reports.

Romo's non-surgical treatment of his fractured left clavicle still won't change his estimated time on the sideline, as the ailment typically takes around eight weeks to heal either way. With that timetable, Romo becomes a candidate to land on the Cowboys' injured reserve/designated to return list, which would officially rule him out for eight weeks, although he could practice after six, if healthy. With Romo out, the Cowboys are expected to hand over the reigns of their offense to Brandon Weeden, who replaced Romo during the second half of Sunday's win over the Eagles.

The Cowboys expect Romo (fractured clavicle) to miss 8-to-10 weeks, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Although the timeline could change after further evaluation, the Cowboys expect Romo to miss about half the season, making him a candidate for IR/designated to return. Romo missed the final 10 weeks of the 2010 season with the same injury.

Romo (shoulder) is expected to miss 4-to-12 weeks with a fractured left clavicle, the Dallas Morning News reports.

A timeline with a smaller range should eventually be available, but it's clear Romo will miss at least three or four games, along with teammate Dez Bryant (foot). Romo missed 10 games when he suffered the same injury -- a broken left clavicle -- back in 2010. Brandon Weeden will step in as the starting quarterback.

Romo suffered a fractured left clavical during Sunday's game against the Eagles, Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Romo is thus out indefinitely, joining teammate Dez Bryant on that front, with Romo's injury now setting the stage for Brandon Weeden to assume the Cowboys' QB duties in the coming weeks.

Romo is undergoing X-rays on his left shoulder after exiting Sunday's game against the Eagles, Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News reports.

It's unclear if Romo will return to Sunday's game, but next up for the Cowboys' QB snaps is Brandon Weeden.

Romo (back) is listed as active Sunday in Philadelphia, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas reports.

For the second season in a row, Romo is missing the initial practice of each week, only to return in full for the remaining sessions. With that caveat out of the way, his three matchups with the Eagles in the Chip Kelly era have been hit-or-miss, as he's completed an aggregate 68 of 107 passes (63.6 percent) for 781 yards and four touchdowns versus four interceptions.

Romo (back) practiced in full Thursday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Romo has so far upheld his routine from last season -- no participation in the first practice, followed by a full showing in the second -- which will likely continue as the current campaign proceeds. On Sunday at Philadelphia, he'll be without Dez Bryant (foot) for the first time since 2011, but Romo has other capable enough receivers (Jason Witten and Terrance Williams, for example) to keep up his status as one of the top fantasy quarterbacks.

Romo (back) returned to practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Romo's practice regimen this season has replicated that of 2014, when he sat out the initial day of drills only to return one day later. Expect the Cowboys to uphold that standard in order to provide relief for his surgically-repaired back. With the Eagles on the docket Sunday, he'll seek a performance in the vein of their Week 15 matchup last year (265 yards passing and three touchdowns) rather than the Thanksgiving day meeting (199 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Romo didn't participate in practice Wednesday, the Cowboys' official site reports.

Romo has seemingly settled into a routine in which he sits out the first practice of the week, but it remains to be seen if he'll return in a full capacity Thursday, as he did a week ago. His upcoming matchup on Sunday night at Philadelphia could be fruitful after the defense yielded 298 yards passing and two touchdowns to Matt Ryan in Week 1.

Romo completed 36 of 45 passes for 356 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 27-26 comeback win over the Giants.

Romo was even better than the stat line suggests, as both interceptions came on bad drops, and a Cole Beasley fumble ended another drive. Romo completed an impressive comeback when he threw a game-winning touchdown pass to Jason Witten with seven seconds remaining, finishing off a six-play, 72-yard drive that only lasted one minute, 27 seconds. Of course, it wasn't all good news for Romo, as star wide receiver Dez Bryant suffered a broken bone in his foot during the fourth quarter, NFL Network's Desmond Purnell reports. Romo won't have his go-to receiver for at least the next games, starting with a Week 2 matchup against the Eagles.

Romo has a 4-2 record in his career with 17 touchdowns and only three interceptions against teams coached by Steve Spagnuolo, the Giants' defensive coordinator, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas reports.

Spagnuolo was also the Giants' DC in 2007 and 2008, but has made coaching stops in St. Louis, New Orleans and Baltimore since. Not that you would have been sitting Romo or any of his main weapons, such as Dez Bryant, anyway, but those numbers should give you extra confidence that the Cowboys passing game will be at its productive best Sunday night.

Romo returned to practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas reports.

As expected, Romo has commenced his on-field preparation for Week 1 after missing Wednesday's practice. It remains to be seen if the Cowboys will uphold that standard set from a season ago, when he sat out the first practice of the week. However, he'll now prepare for a Giants defense that he lit up for 555 yards and seven touchdowns versus one interception in two division matchups in 2014.

Head coach Jason Garrett confirmed that Romo will start the season taking part in the walkthrough portion of drills each Wednesday before sitting out practice itself, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

As he did a season ago, Romo will extend that practice routine to the current campaign. The decision is intended to manage his surgically-repaired back, with the aim of replicating his success from a season ago, when he led the league with a career-best 69.9 completion percentage and 113.2 passer rating. Overall, he racked up 3,705 yards and 34 touchdowns versus nine interceptions in 15 games.

Romo wasn't seen at Wednesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas reports.

Romo didn't take part in practice more than two consecutive days last season, when he regularly sat out each Wednesday. While it remains to be seen if he'll uphold such a pattern in 2015, there's also a slim chance that an ailment is the root cause of his absence. In any case, head coach Jason Garrett will clarify Romo's status in short order.

Romo completed five of eight passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings.

Romo's first touchdown came on a pass over the middle to Terrance Williams, who outraced the defense for a 60-yard touchdown. Romo then connected with Lucky Whitehead for an eight-yard scoring strike on what was likely the veteran signal-caller's final snap of the 2015 preseason. Dez Bryant (hamstring) didn't play Saturday night but is expected to be ready for Week 1.

Brandon Weeden took first-team reps in practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas reports, an indication that Romo will receive limited snaps in Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers.

Both of Dallas' starting tackles, Tyron Smith (biceps) and Doug Free (foot), are recovering from injuries which will keep them out of Sunday's game, and given what happened to Robert Griffin III on Thursday night behind a patchwork offensive line there has been some speculation that Romo won't play at all against the 49ers. Don't be surprised if the Cowboys are very cautious with their starting QB for the remainder of the preseason, as they focus more on keeping him healthy rather than getting him reps.

Romo isn't expected to play in the Cowboy's preseason opener Thursday in San Diego, Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News reports.

While Romo is missing his third practice of training camp Monday, the absence marks his second for purposes of rest. To date, he has yet to take part in practice more than two days in a row, continuing his routine from a season ago. Expect him to return to the fold Tuesday, but it remains to be seen when he'll fit in his first preseason appearance.

Romo was back at practice Saturday after having a stye removed from his left eye, Rob Phillips of DallasCowboys.com reports.

In the first day of padded practice for the Cowboys, Romo was already targeting Dez Bryant and didn't seem bothered by the eye at all. The Cowboys will manage Romo's workload in training camp just as they did last season, but the veteran seems poised for another big season behind the team's excellent offensive line.

Romo missed Friday's practice due to an eye infection, the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram reports.

He'll be re-evaluated Saturday, but this shouldn't be something that costs Romo many reps in camp, much less affects him in Week 1.
