Even though he missed practice yesterday with tightness in his back (after missing most of the offseason following back surgery) Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo insists there’s no reason for alarm.
Via Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com, Romo said he planned to practice today, but that more rest days were likely in his future.
“It’s going to pop up,” Romo said. “I’m sure it’ll happen throughout the rest of the season. You’ll see a day here or there. It’s the same as the arm. Sometimes your arm gets [tired]. It’s just obviously more talked about because of having surgery on the back.
“You play this game. It’s a very violent, physical game, and you throw the ball a lot and you do all these things. Sometimes it’s just that tightness stuff comes up. You prefer obviously to do everything 100 percent of the time, but you can’t always do that. I’ll be fine. I’ll be good to go [Thursday].
Romo was on a maintenance plan throughout training camp, never going more than two days in a row. But he went through the first two weeks of the regular season without missing a practice, making it seem he had pushed through.
