Tony Romo leaves early

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 24, 2011, 4:41 PM EDT

Tony Romo has left Saturday’s game early with an injury on right throwing hand.

Considering the Giants win earlier today, we may not see him again on Saturday.

Felix Jones didn’t start for Dallas because of his hamstring, but he was able to enter the game as a backup on the team’s second series.

Steven McGee is in the game at quarterback for Romo. It’s unclear at this stage how serious the injury is.

The Eagles are eliminated in the NFC East.

UPDATE 5:48 p.m. ET: Romo won’t return to the game.

It should be Kafka time. He can use the game experience with Mike “the $100,000,000 man” Vick unable to lead the eagles to the playoffs.

surely u guys have a report that romo could have come back in the game, but JERRY sent down word to the coaching staff not to put Romo back in…. with it being a meaningless game.

Who would prefer to see Vick rather than Eli or Romo?

The Steeler haters should be all over this. Romo shows you how a banged up hand QB acts…..sits on the side lines. Maybe a broken thumb and high ankle sprain doesn’t match this hit.
