The Cowboys must still have hope Tony Romo will return this season.
That’s one conclusion we can make after the team placed starting defensive end Marcus Spears and rookie safety Akwasi Owusu-Ansah on injured reserve, ending their seasons.
Spears was only expected to miss 4-6 weeks, but the team decided they couldn’t wait for him because they are short on numbers on the defensive line.
Tim McMahon of ESPNDallas.com reports the team will sign defensive end Jeremy Clark and Jimmy Saddler-McQueen to fill the roster roles.
The team was reportedly considering ending Romo’s season, but the moves indicate there is still some hope the team will play him again this year despite their record.
