The Cowboys know they’re going to be without quarterback Tony Romo for around eight weeks because of his broken clavicle.
But now they’ve formalized that timetable.
According to Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com, the Cowboys are placing Romo on injured reserve/designated for return.
That mean’s he’ll miss the next eight weeks, which with their bye covers seven games. He’d be eligible to play again on Nov. 22 against the Dolphins.
They didn’t use the IR/DFR tag on Dez Bryant, still showing some hope he’ll be back before the reported 10 to 12 weeks.
They’re working out other quarterbacks today, but are confident handing the reins to backup Brandon Weeden for the next two months.
